Triple accreditation

Triple accreditation in management education, also known as triple crown accreditation, describes a business school accredited by three major accreditation bodies: The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the Association of MBAs (AMBA), and EFMD Quality Improvement System (EQUIS). About 1% of business schools are triple-accredited.[1]

Accreditation comparison

Each of the three institutions assesses a business school according to different criteria and scope.[2][3][4] The AMBA accreditation certifies the overall quality of the Master in Business Administration programme MBA, including faculty and facilities. The accreditation assures students that the business school adheres to high quality standards. AACSB and EQUIS include quality benchmarks for the school.
