We have the Triple Crown Accreditation!
HSE became the first Nordic business school to receive the prestigious triple crown accreditation when it was awarded the AACSB accreditation on April 12, 2007. In the 2007 accreditation process for AACSB, HSE was the only European School to be accredited alongside eight other business schools, six located in the United States, who met the strict demands of the internationally acclaimed standards organization.
Triple international accreditation a notable achievement
HSE has been tested by all three international standards organizations that certify business schools. The previous certifications are from the European EQUIS and the Association of MBAs (AMBA). This third certification, often referred to as the ‘triple crown’ raises HSE into a category shared by only about 20 other universities, such as HEC (Paris), ESADE, RSM Erasmus University, University College Dublin, FGV (São Paulo), and Tec de Monterrey EGADE.
Demanding requirements for accreditation
Accreditation requires that each business school fulfill strict quality standards for leadership, success in meeting educational goals, and communication between staff and students. The standards must also be integrated into the school’s mission statement. Compliance is judged by deans experienced with business education from other international business schools.
Accreditation is further proof to students, applicants, employees, partners, corporations and benefactors that HSE’s educational programs and related services are truly world class. Preparing for and ensuring future compliance to the accreditation guidelines forms a solid base for internal discussion and improvement within HSE’s university and partner networks.
