MBA accreditation - which one to look for?


Posted Mar 11, 2019 14:30

For MBA accreditation, I understand that there are three main ones, AMBA, AACSB, EQUIS.

However, how do you compare programs that are accredited differently? For example, one MBA I am looking at has accretion from AACSB, and another has AMBA and EQUIS. Does this mean that the 'double' accredited program is better? How do the individual accreditations compare to each other?

Take a look at https://find-mba.com/mba-faq/mba-accreditation-why-is-it-important and Why international accreditation matters http://www.find-mba.com/board/41224
AACSB-only schools tend to be in the USA while AMBA-only and EQUIS-only schools tend to be in Europe. The differences are relatively unimportant for MBAs.
