Three Educational Session Tracks for Your Presentation

All proposals must indicate one of the following concurrent conference tracks: 


 Preparing Students for Career Success 
ACBSP conference 2017 has a theme focused on preparing students for career success. As we move into the global landscape, the process of continuous improvement toward educational excellence and helping students as they move on to the desired career has become more crucial. This focus takes real world experiences from the students and integrates them into academic rigor where new models and concepts can be created.

Teaching Excellence
This track focuses on best practices for the classroom, assessment of student learning and online delivery of learning.

Accreditation Process
This sessions focus on the actual processes associated with initial accreditation, maintenance of accreditation and reaffirmation of accreditation. Presentations should demonstrate linkages between institutional experience and the accreditation processes. Potential topics include involving the faculty in the preparation of self-study or quality assurance reports, lessons learned and obtaining administrative support when pursuing and obtaining accreditation.

Conference Registration
  • Submitting a presentation implies that all authors listed in the program book and on the website proceedings will register for the conference. Authors not presenting can be recognized in the brief or detailed description (see submittal in response to Call for Presentations) and in the content of the presentation. Each accepted presentation entitles one author to a discount of 50% off one regular or advance conference registration. 
  • If the presentation is accepted, the main contact will register for the conference and receive the 50% discount as a speaker. More information on how to register will be given to you once you have been notified your presentation has been accepted. Individuals responding to this request for presentations are asked not to submit their registration until after they have been notified of their acceptance as an author.
