Accreditation agencies

General questions

    Dear Thomas,

    Thank you for this very interesting site!

    Please let me ask you, why the site doesn't mention
    some other business programs accreditation agencies
    such as ACBSP, IACBE, from U.S., or even European ECBE.
    Maybe they aren't prestigious like ''golden'' AACSB, EQUIS, or AMBA,
    but I think are quite important, especially the ACBSP.

    Thank you!

    Stefanos

      Hi Stefanos,

      thank your for your input. I didn't mention them as only AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA are international recognized accrediation agencies, at least for management education.

      These other accreditation agencies may also be helpful to assess the quality of a program - it never hurts if an external agency evaluates a program or school. So, it may definitely make sense to take them int account.

      I am just saying: If you want a program whose school fulfills international management education criteria, the AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA are the ones.

      Best wishes,
      Thomas

        Thanks for the immediate response,

        I just started a DBA, that suited me and I'm very happy about it,
        which has ACBSP and ECBE program accreditation,
        so I wanted your opinion on the issue of accreditation.

        thanks!

        Stefanos
