Accreditation Service

The Association of MBAs' international accreditation service is at the heart of our commitment to the development of standards in global management education.

We accredit MBA, DBA and MBM programmes at 167 business schools in 72 countries.

Our rigorous assessment criteria ensure that only highest calibre programmes achieve our accreditation award.

Unlike other business education accreditation bodies we focus on individual programmes rather than whole institutions. This unique, in-depth and detailed approach means that the highest standards of teaching, faculty and student interaction are guaranteed by our accreditation.

Our accreditation is international in scope and reach. The Association of MBAs International Accreditation Advisory Board (IAAB), which drafts and constantly monitors the accreditation criteria, is drawn from senior academics at top educational institutions around the world.

We believe that programmes should be of the highest standard and reflect changing trends and innovation in postgraduate management education. Our accreditation process reflects this commitment to fostering innovation and challenges business schools to continuously perform at the highest level.

For those schools who have a long term interest in pursuing accreditation but do not at present feel they are able to meet all the requirements of our criteria, we offer a consultancy service.
