Types of AACSB Accreditation

AACSB offers two types of accreditation: business and accounting[1]. In order to earn and maintain business accreditation, schools must align with 15 Accreditation Standards.[2] [3] Business accreditation certifies most degrees offered through a business school at the undergraduate or graduate level.[4][5] For supplemental accounting accreditation[6], a school must first earn business accreditation and then fulfill an additional six accreditation standards specific to accounting.[21][7]

Triple Accreditation

For the business education industry, there are three main accrediting bodies—AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA—that have the highest international recognition levels.[1] Schools that earn accreditation by each is known to be triple-accredited. Schools that earn all three often state they have the “Triple Crown” accreditation because a school must complete accreditation by each organization separately.[2][3]
