Only one hundred schools worldwide, including Esade, receive this ‘Triple Crown’ distinction (1% of the world's leading business schools).
EFMD Quality Improvement System (EQUIS)
In 1988, Esade was the first Spanish and one of the first European business schools to obtain this accreditation granted by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). The accreditation was renewed in 2003, 2008, 2013 and 2018.
Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International)
In 2001, Esade was the first business school in Spain and seventh in Europe to achieve this accreditation for its bachelor's, master's, and doctorate programs. The accreditation was renewed in 2006, 2011, 2016 and 2021.
Association of MBAs (AMBA)
Esade MBA programs have been accredited by AMBA since 1994, and accreditation was renewed in 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014 and 2019.
