AACSB
The University of Antwerp has obtained the prestigious accreditation of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) for its management programmes in the faculty of Applied Economical Sciences and at the Antwerp Management School. The University of Antwerp is the first Belgian university to acquire this accreditation.
With some 500 accredited member (of whom about 60 outside of the US), AACSB is the oldest (1916) and most authoritative accreditation organization in the world. The University of Antwerp is now in the company of universities like Harvard, London Business School, Marquette, Warwick, and Chicago.
Benchmarking will become an important matter in the future European and international educational scene. Comparative studies based on standard indexes will become the criterion for universities to decide whether they want to cooperate with other institutes. Universities and management schools with an AACSB accreditation in international teams are automatically a privileged partner.
