[1] :2 [8] [lower-alpha 1] The first accreditations took place in 1919. [1] :2 For many years, the association accredited only American business schools, but in the latter part of the twentieth century adopted a more international approach to business education. [4] The first school it accredited outside the United States was the University of Alberta in 1968, [9] and the first outside North America was the French business school ESSEC, in 1997. [10] [11] The present name of the association was adopted in 2001. [1] :2

In January 2015 the Council for Higher Education Accreditation deferred recognition of the association pending satisfaction of its policy requirements, [12] and in July its Committee on Recognition recommended that recognition be denied. [13] The association withdrew from the council in September 2016. [14] [15] In 2019 it received ISO 9001 certification.[ citation needed ]

Since June 2020, the organization's chief executive officer is Caryn Beck-Dudley, who had previously been dean of the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University.
