The International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE) is an educational accreditation agency for college and university business programs. It is not recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation[1] (see List of unrecognized accreditation associations of higher learning).

IACBE is one of three organizations which accredit business programs, both at the graduate and undergraduate level. The others are Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). The IACBE focuses on student-centered institutions.

The IACBE accredits associate's, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral-level degree programs in business and business-related fields at institutions with bachelor's and/or graduate degree programs throughout the world. Unlike regional accreditation organizations, the IACBE accredits programs, not institutions.

The IACBE has member institutions in more than 20 countries throughout the world.[2]

Business programs are evaluated based on the IACBE's accreditation principles, which examine eight major areas: outcomes assessment, strategic planning, curriculum, faculty, scholarly and professional activities, resources, internal and external relationships, and educational innovation.
