NBEA developed this 2023 edition of the National Standards for Business Education. The standards, first published in 1995 at the request of business educators throughout the country, was then, and is today, at the leading edge of business and career education.

Preparing students for the workplace demands a dynamic curriculum—perhaps more dynamic than any other academic discipline. Standards for Business Education are based on a comprehensive curriculum model that integrates ten content areas including: accounting business law, career development communication, economics/personal finance, entrepreneurship, information technology, international business, management, and marketing.
