The authors present the case of one business college's use of project management techniques as tools for accomplishing Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International maintenance of accreditation. Using these techniques provides an efficient and effective method of organizing maintenance efforts. In addition, using these tools to prepare for maintenance of accreditation provides a communications framework that simplifies the review process for accreditation teams and helps faculty, staff, and administrators to understand and accomplish AACSB International goals. The case can serve as a useful model for accreditation and maintenance of accreditation efforts.
