School of Business Accreditation
The University of Indianapolis School of Business is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools & Programs (ACBSP). The ACBSP accredits schools whose primary focus is teaching. Our accreditation status demonstrates that we have met, and will continue to maintain, standards of business education that promote teaching excellence. In addition, ACBSP-accredited schools follow the core values defined by the Baldrige National Quality Program. Two areas that are important to the School of Business include data of CHEA Student Achievement for each accredited program and overall School of Business measures.
CHEA Student Achievement
The University of Indianapolis School of Business conferred a total of 1,329 undergraduate and graduate degrees from academic year 2019 through 2023. These results are illustrated in the graphs below by undergraduate and graduate levels as well as program majors.
The above graph shows the total of 974 undergraduate degrees conferred from 2019 through 2023. Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Management major continues to be the most desired undergraduate business major. However, there have been a consistent steady growth in Finance major over the past five (5) years, making the finance major the second highest in the degrees conferred.
From 2019 through 2023, the University of Indianapolis School of Business conferred 355 graduate degrees. These results are illustrated in the above graph by program major.
Overall School of Business Performance Measures
Two overall outcomes of CHEA Student Achievement for the University of Indianapolis School of Business for ACBSP are retention and graduation percentage rates. The retention rate and graduation percentage rates for the School of Business are shown in the Retention Rate and the
Graduation Rate charts below. The timeline for the graphs for the retention and the graduation rates refers to the time retention and graduation rates were measured.
It should be noted that the School of Business undergraduate programs accept any interested University of Indianapolis student meeting the University's admissions requirements. Some students enroll in an academic program under exploratory circumstances and later change majors,
which affects the retention and graduation rates. The data reflects students whose initial major was listed as Business.
Retention and Graduation Rates
University of Indianapolis School of Business undergraduate retention rates and graduation rates are as follows:
The above graph shows undergraduate retention rates for the years 2019 through 2023. The average is 56.0%, a significant decrease from the 5 years prior, in part due to the low rate recorded in 2021 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the fall of 2024, the university has dedicated resources to and funded programs that specifically address this challenge.
The above graph shows the 4-year and the 6-year graduation rates for 2016 through 2020 and 2016 through 2018 respectively. An average of 45.3% graduated within 4 years, and an average of 53.5% graduated within 6 years.
Students' Results of the School of Business Quality
Students in their senior year, from academic year 2015/2016 through 2023/2024 were surveyed on three (3) major education experience factors related to the 1) Quality of Courses Delivered, 2) Satisfaction with the Courses Delivered, and 3) Whether the Business Courses Adequately Prepared them for their Careers.
Results from these three metrics are presented in the graph below. Overall, our baccalaureate graduates have been overwhelmingly satisfied with their UIndy School of Business education.
The above graph shows students from years 2015 through 2024 who, upon completing their undergraduate degree, believed they received a quality education.

Program Goals & Student Learning Outcomes
The University of Indianapolis School of Business, in conjunction with ACBSP, follows the Six Sigma Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control (DMAIC) process for continual improvement of academic programs.
To assure pertinent and current learning outcomes for students completing each program within the School of Business, faculty review the learning outcomes for each academic major. Critical student learning outcomes are identified for each of our business majors, based upon benchmarking against professional society certifications and standards within the field, as well as an environmental scan of employer expectations.
School of Business faculty have identified key outcome assessment measures to verify and confirm that students have achieved the identified program student learning goals. Because some of the learning objectives or assessment methods were changed or modified, based on the annual reviews, there may be some instances in which a program will only be able to report the baseline data for some or all of the program student learning outcomes.
As part of our continual quality improvement process, faculty reflect on assessment of students' learning outcomes to diagnose any opportunities for strengthening the program. Improvements are made, based on the collaboration with other colleagues in the discipline. Adjustments may be made in prior foundation courses, course objectives, course activities, lesson plans for delivery and application of key concepts, and/or design of the assessment instrument.
The following links provide a summary of student learning outcomes and key assessment measures being evaluated over time, as well as the resulting improvements, if any, which have been made or improvements to be implemented or continued in the future.
