The Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), welcomed the assessment team from the Institute of Accreditation for Economics, Management, Business, and Accounting Programs (LAMEMBA) on Tuesday–Wednesday, July 8–9, 2025. The assessment took place in Meeting Room 1, Soeharno TS Building, FEB UNS.

The assessment, led by assessors Prof. Suyanto, S.E., M.Ec.Dev., Ph.D., from the Universitas Surabaya and Prof. Ida Bagus Putu Purbadharmaja, S.E., M.E., from Universitas Udayana, was part of the on-site assessment for the Master’s Program in Economics and Development Studies at FEB UNS.

In his opening remarks, delivered before the Dean Office, the Head of the Master’s Program in Economics and Development Studies, the Quality Assurance Unit (UPM), and the Accreditation Taskforce Team, Prof. Suyanto emphasized that the assessors’ visit aimed to validate the content of the accreditation documents submitted by the program.

“All statements provided in the documents must not only be descriptive narratives, but also supported by concrete evidence. These include regulations and records of implementation. We will work thoroughly, so we expect consistent responses from everyone involved. We will provide a report based on everything we observe on site. Often, we find that the real action conducted on-site is even more impressive. Therefore, we hope the team will work more swiftly and more effectively,” he explained.

During the assessment, the first day featured interview sessions conducted by Prof. Ida Bagus Putu Purbadharmaja. The interviews were held in several stages, involving users, alumni, lecturers, and students.

On the second day, the assessors conducted a facilities review, visiting several FEB units including the Center for Research and Community Engagement Development (P4M), Fiscal Corner, professors’ offices, archives room, classrooms, Konimex Hall, student workspace, and the Computer Laboratory.

The visit concluded with a feedback session, signing of the on-site assessment report, and the official closing ceremony.
