Standards here see the engagement of faculty with the community, faculty with alumni, the role of alumni being an important role in the AACSB accreditation process.
Standard 14 is a standard that is closely related to the UKK, this standard discusses executive education, namely the relationship between institutions and degree programs / study programs, where institutions and study programs must have an engagement, in order to create a reciprocal relationship, where degree programs can provide concepts new, new applications and new theories, while institutions can contribute with degree programs, by providing practical examples. With this relationship, it is expected to increase learning and generate intellectual contributions.
“In executive education, it is necessary to attach a report and proof of every training conducted by an institution within the FEB UI,” Beta said.
