Triple Accreditation - Top Schools Without Triple Accreditation

Top Schools Without Triple Accreditation

Many of the world's top business schools are not triple-accredited, while several schools that appear low in the rankings have triple accreditation.

One reason for this is that some of the top business schools choose not to incur the financial cost of international accreditation and rely only on accreditation by their national accrediting body (usually the country's education ministry). Notable examples are the Desautels Faculty of Management of McGill University in Canada or the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, which have not received accreditation by any of the three global accrediting institutions.

Another reason is that the top schools in some regions do not meet one or more of the detailed criteria of the accrediting institutions and choose not to amend their policy. Notable examples are all top US business schools: Harvard Business School, Wharton, Stanford GSB, Columbia Business School, Chicago Booth, etc., which do not meet AMBA's mandatory three-year student-work-experience requirement for all MBA applicants.

A third reason is that the 509 schools that have obtained AACSB accreditation in the US and Canada (either via the standard accreditation process or via the granting of accreditation based on their reputation as top schools) do not look outside of North America for further validation, such as through European or British accreditation.

    We have to have wars now and then just to prove we’re top dog.

    Into a strumpet’s fool.
