Triple Accreditation for SDA Bocconi
The quality of SDA Bocconi programs has received a new confirmation with the announcement of the Board of Directors of the AACSB (the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) that the school has received the prestigious AACSB accreditation, which is added to accreditations from EQUIS and AMBA, which the school had already obtained. With this significant success, SDA has completed the path to triple accreditation from the most important international organizations which place it among the limited number of 56 business schools worldwide who can boast this recognition.
The AACSB, founded in 1916, is an association which brings together around 1,200 schools, companies and institutions from 80 countries, dedicated to the advancement of management education. It is the oldest international organization for the accreditations of business schools. Today, 643 schools in 43 countries have been accredited by AACSB.
Recognitions at the level of accreditations are added to those received by SDA this year in rankings, where the school placed 7th in the European business school rankings in the Financial Times. SDA's MBA, the only Italian school present in all the most important international rankings, placed 10th in Europe in the FT rankings, 1st in the world for return on investment in the Bloomberg Businessweek ranking and 4th among business schools outside the US in the Forbes rankings for return on investment.
