AACSB Accreditation
We accredit the best business schools in the world.
AACSB accreditation is known, worldwide, as the longest-standing, most recognized form of specialized accreditation that an institution and its business programs can earn.
Accreditation is a voluntary, nongovernmental process that includes a rigorous external review of a school's mission, faculty qualifications, curricula, and ability to provide the highest-quality programs.
AACSB's accreditation processes are ISO 9001:2015 certified.
