Neither the article nor a Google search provides any indication that this is a notable business school.  Sandstein  06:40, 10 February 2009 (UTC) 
 * Comment. My initial reaction to this was that any accredited university must be notable, but in looking further I'm not sure that the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs has any credibility as an accrediting body. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:37, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. I couldn't find any significant coverage in reliable sources, and I don't think that the accrediting body is credible enough for this to have any automatic notability as a university. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:17, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Dear Phil you cannot clam that this is not an accredited school by a simple search on Google. Google is not the end all search engine. This is a relatively young school and if yoy check theACBSP Membership Link, you will also note that that on the right hand column SMC is an accredited institution. If you want to discredit this school for accreditation are you ready to challenge Chicago State University or University of Dallas? Sedondly, you must define what accreditation means before making defamatory comments about this school. I remind you that the ACBSP is recognized by the Council for Higher Education in the US which recognizes the academic standard that the ACBSP holds and I quote " The CHEA-recognized scope of accreditation is: Degree programs in business and business-related fields at the associate, baccalaureate, and graduate levels. At its meeting on January 22, 2001, the CHEA Board of Directors reviewed the recommendations of the CHEA Committee on Recognition regarding the recommendation and recognized the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs." associated link

Finally the only reason that some schools are not recognized regionally by local governing departments is because the shcools are private and small. Have you looked at the 26 guidelines that the ACBSP puts schools through in order to get this international accreditation. Let's face it globalization is shrinking our world and we need to standardize educational practices in the largest field of study-business. I leave you with an article that legitmizes the ACBSP [Small School Accreditation —Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by Zaboss (talk • contribs) 08:41, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

One last validation which you wouldn't find on a google search is the list of Accrediting agencies from tbe Council for Higher Education in the U.S. (CHEA} link I have also put in an article about Diploma Mills to validate the CHEA and its recognition of APBSC. gov.ed
