Academic Prowess
One common way of identifying the strength of a business school is to compare accreditations, or certifications of credibility. Fewer than one percent of business schools across the globe are triple accredited, also known as a Triple Crown. This honour is granted by the three largest and most influential business school accreditation organisations:
- AACSB - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (United States)
- AMBA - The Association of MBAs (United Kingdom)
- EQUIS - EFMD Quality Improvement System (European Union)
Of the more than 13,000 schools offering business degree programs worldwide, only 90 have been awarded with the Triple Crown. Audencia is one of those 90.
Audencia’s slogan, ‘Never stop daring’, highlights its DNA. The school continues to reaffirm the essence of its brand: audacity. This slogan was suggested by Manon Meyer, an Audencia Entrepreneurship student. Faithful to its collaborative approach, the school gave all students and staff members the chance to be part of the brainstorming process via an online platform. This is a school that trusts its students, relies on consistent innovation, cooperation and responsibility, and promotes people from around the world to become business leaders and pioneers.
