Professional Accreditations
EU Business School holds programmatic accreditations from the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) and the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE). Both of these accrediting bodies are recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), one of the main higher education agencies in the U.S.A. Our institution has also earned the International Quality Accreditation (IQA) from the Central and East European Management Development Association (CEEMAN). Additionally, in Switzerland, we have been certified by eduQua, which recognizes the quality assurance system.
To ensure that accreditations truly reflect an educational institution’s status and academic standards, quality reports must be submitted annually and biennially to these accrediting bodies. EU Business School duly submits these reports and is in full compliance with their requirements. The most recent reports are available to you on our website in the Accreditations section.
