Globally, there are three major business education accreditation systems: AMBA & BGA,AACSB, and EQUIS. Collectively known as the “Triple Crown”accreditations, these represent the highest international recognition for business schools, serving as critical benchmarks for institutional strength and a passport to global prominence. Achieving such certifications enhances a school’s domestic and international credibility, providing a strategic platform for holistic growth and continuous improvement.
