Triple Accreditations

The 3 most important accreditations, AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA provide an evaluation of the relevance of what each establishment and set of programs have to offer as well as their development plans.

 

EMLYON Business School was one of the first in Europe to become voluntarily involved in this process:

• In 1998, EMLYON obtained unconditional EQUIS European accreditation, which was renewed in 2003;
• In 2008. In 2005, EMLYON also received AACSB American accreditation;
• Finally, its International MBA and its Executive MBA were recognized by the AMBA (United Kingdom) in 2000, followed by the MSc in Management program.

 

This triple accreditation, from which EMLYON Business School has benefited for several years, and on which only a small number of international establishments can pride themselves, proves of the long term educational efforts, resources and client orientation that EMLYON can guarantee.
