Triple accreditation in management education, also known as Triple Crown accreditation, describes the combination of all three leading international accreditations that a business school can achieve: The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the Association of MBAs (AMBA), and EFMD Quality Improvement System (EQUIS).[1] A total of 124 business schools in the world are triple-accredited as of 21 June 2023. This equals around 1% of business schools worldwide.[2]
Accreditation comparison
Each of the three institutions assesses a business school according to different criteria and scope.[3][4][5] AMBA accreditation certifies the overall quality of the Master in Business Administration MBA programme portfolio, including faculty and facilities. The accreditation assures students that a business school adheres to high quality standards. AACSB and EQUIS include quality benchmarks for the school.
Schools by country
In May 2020 there were 100 triple-accredited business schools in 36 countries or regions:[7][8][9]. The number of Triple Accredited schools had grown to over 110 by November 2021 and to 125 as of August 2023.
