The Romain College of Business has earned accreditation from AACSB, which is considered the "gold standard" for business accreditation. Only 5.7% of business schools, globally, have earned that accreditation. Achieving accreditation is a multi-year process of rigorous internal focus, engagement with an AACSB-assigned mentor and peer-reviewed evaluation. Schools must develop and implement a plan to align with accreditation standards. These standards require excellence in areas relating to strategic management and innovation; student, faculty, and staff as active participants; learning and teaching; and academic and professional engagement.

Courtney Bourne '23 -- Marketing Insights Analyst at First Financial Bank

“I chose marketing because it is like science, it is always evolving and impacting our daily decisions. The marketing program at USI prepares you professionally through the professors and resources such as the Marketing Club. The marketing club is a collegiate chapter of the AMA which enables students to compete in case competitions, earn professional certifications."

Alicia Bowling '16 -- Program Manager at Dell Technologies

“The Romain College of Business has had a profound impact on my life. The professors I got to learn from, the students I got to learn with, and the experiences I was a part of have shaped me into the person and professional that I am today. I am forever grateful for the relationships I made and the lessons I learned while a student at USI!”

Austin Clausheide '21 -- Sales Representative at Berry Global

“I chose the Romain College of Business because I knew I would be challenged and pushed throughout my tenure at USI, both inside and outside the classroom. All of my professors emphasized getting involved, both on and off campus, networking with new people, and getting experience in the workforce prior to graduation. I chose to do all three. Joining a handful of clubs, meeting and networking with people, and earning an internship really challenged me to grow as a student and as a person. Choosing the Romain College of Business was one of the best choices I have made, and it can be yours too.”

Liz Gott '19 -- International Logistics Planner and Sales Specialist at Midwestern Pet Foods Inc.

"I value the skills I learned to adapt my degree into a career I love. The international marketing class I took senior year, combined with learning about the world economy, led me to my current career path. I love what I do and wouldn't have considered it without the exposure I had in the Romain College of Business."
