Schriever, LA – The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) www.acbsp.org Associate Degree Board of Commissioners has awarded Fletcher Technical Community College in Schriever, Louisiana, www.fletcher.edu, accreditation of its business programs.

Celebrating 32 years of excellence in global business program accreditation, ACBSP is the only organization offering specialized business accreditation for all degree levels, from associate to baccalaureate to doctoral degree programs. ACBSP accreditation certifies that the teaching and learning processes within the business degrees and programs offered at Fletcher Technical Community College meet the rigorous educational standards established by ACBSP.

Based on the Baldridge Education Criteria for Performance Excellence, ACBSP accreditation evaluates aspects of leadership, strategic planning, relationships with stakeholders, quality of academic programs, faculty credentials, and educational support to determine whether or not the business programs offers a rigorous educational experience and demonstrate continuous quality improvement.

“Fletcher Technical Community College has shown its commitment to teaching excellence and to the process of quality improvement by participating in the accreditation process,” said ACBSP Chief Accreditation Officer Dr. Steve Parscale, who will present the Certificate of Accreditation at ACBSP Conference 2020 in Chicago, Illinois, on June 28. “This accreditation is evidence that Fletcher is committed to providing the highest quality business education for their students.”

“Congratulations to our Business faculty on this tremendous accomplishment,” commented Fletcher Chancellor, Dr. Kristine Strickland. “Accreditation is a recognition of academic excellence and demonstrates to our students and our community the quality of our instruction and curriculum. This effort took a significant amount of time, talent and energy and I would like to thank all of those members of the Fletcher team who helped us achieve this milestone.”
