AMBA accreditation for international business schools

MBA accreditation denotes the highest standard of achievement in postgraduate business education. MBA students and graduates, Business Schools, and employers all recognise MBA accreditation as a gold standard. MBA Accreditation is at the heart of AMBA’s commitment to maintaining standards and fostering innovation in global postgraduate management education. AMBA aims to encourage students to enrol on high-quality international programmes in reputable institutions (usually business schools or equivalent). It also aims to encourage employers to recruit from these schools. AMBA accreditation is holistic in nature - its criteria are used as a benchmark for assessing the overall quality of an institution and its MBA programmes. Accreditation assessments seek to balance the requirements for comparable international standards with the need to recognise local legislative and cultural differences. In particular, where the extensive, two-year, full-time format of the MBA qualification is the prevailing norm there may be some acceptable deviations from criteria. AMBA will not necessarily rule out for consideration any such deviations where the business school and its MBA programmes are of genuine international quality, with career outcomes demonstrably equivalent to those seen at other accredited institutions.  

EFMD accreditation for international business schools

(The leading international system of quality assessment, improvement and accreditation of business schools.)

EFMD --- the European Foundation for Management Development is a global membership driven organization based in Brussels. As the largest international network association in the field of management development, the EFMD network includes almost 800 institutional members and reaches over 25,000 management development professionals from academia, business, public service and consultancy across 80 countries worldwide.EFMD acts as a catalyst to promote and enhance excellence in management development in European and Worldwide.

EQUIS Accreditation is one of the quality services EFMD provides for its members. The EFMD Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) is the Leading international system of quality assessment, improvement, and accreditation of higher education institutions in management and business administration.Its fundamental objective is to raise the standard of management education worldwide. EQUIS is not primarily focused on the MBA or any other specific programme. Its scope covers all programmes offered by an institution from the first degree up to the Ph.D, including non-degree programmes.

3-year Accreditation: Schools satisfying all the EQUIS Standards except in one or two of the quality dimensions that are only partially satisfied are awarded EQUIS accreditation for a period of three years.  

5-year Accreditation: Schools that, in the Accreditation Board’s judgment, meet all the EQUIS quality standards will be awarded EQUIS accreditation for a period of five years. This means that these schools are good in all areas and probably excellent in some of them.

AACSB accreditation in both business and accounting for international business schools

Founded in 1916, AACSB is the longest serving global accrediting body for business schools that offer undergraduate, master’s, and doctorate degrees in business and accounting, which was initiated by business schools from Harvard University, Columbia University, Yale University and other American first-class Universities. AACSB Accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in business education, and has been earned by less than five percent of the world’s business programs. Schools that have earned AACSB business accreditation demonstrate an ongoing commitment to excellence in teaching, research, curriculum development, and learner success. Meanwhile, schools that have earned AACSB’s supplemental accounting accreditation have not only earned AACSB business accreditation but have gone through an additional process to affirm that their accounting programs are meeting the highest standard of quality.
