Triple Accreditation is a term meaning that a business school has been accredited by the three largest and most important Business school accreditation associations. Each association assesses a business school according to different criteria. For instance AMBA looks specifically at the MBA content, whereas EQUIS corresponds to an overall business education improvement framework. AACSB takes the most wide-ranging view of a particular institution.[citation needed] EQUIS' scope covers all programmes offered by an institution from the first degree up to the Ph.D. This accreditation is generally viewed as a European standard, AACSB being an American equivalent:[citation needed]


  • AACSB - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business
  • AMBA - The Association of MBAs
  • EQUIS - European Quality Improvement System


Of the 3900 business schools, only 50 have triple accreditation.

MBA Ranking

Whilst the AMBA accreditation is the most specific regarding the MBA program, Triple accreditation can be used by many as an alternative, and more reliable, method for reviewing the quality of Business Schools and MBA programs, as the overall quality of the institution itself is rigorously assessed, as opposed to merely aspects of its curriculum.
