The College of Business and Economics at Cal State LA proudly celebrates 65 years of AACSB accreditation, a distinction first earned in 1961 under founding Dean Floyd R. Simpson. As one of only a select number of business schools worldwide to hold this prestigious recognition, the CBE has continuously evolved under successive deans — each building on a legacy of academic excellence, community engagement, and student success. Now operating as the College of Business and Economics under Dean Seiji Steimetz, the college remains committed to advancing its mission through strategic focus on learner success, thought leadership and intellectual contributions, and assurance of learning.
