Why is accreditation important?
Accreditation symbolises the Faculty’s commitment to quality assurance in its programs and continuous improvement. The achievement of accreditation by leading international accreditation associations demonstrates that Monash and the Faculty have met a high-level standard of quality assurance and satisfied the criteria by a team of independent international peer reviewers.
AACSB and EQUIS are the pre-eminent international accrediting bodies based in the US and Europe respectively. The Faculty has had full EQUIS accreditation since 2006. It is currently seeking AACSB International Business accreditation. The Faculty’s MBA program has been AMBA accredited since 2006.
