Griffith University’s reputation as a world leader in business education has been enhanced after Griffith Business School’s AACSB International accreditation was extended last month.

The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business accreditation remains the hallmark of excellence in business education, and has been earned by less than five percent of the world’s business schools.

Griffith Business School is in the company of Harvard, Yale and London Business School in securing the prestigious international recognition.

Griffith was only the fifth university in Australia when first awarded the accreditation in 2009. Today, there are more than 687 business schools in 45 countries and territories that have earned AACSB accreditation.

The AACSB Accreditation brought the curtain down on a strong 2013 for Griffith Business School, with its MBA also gaining significant recognition.

After ranking inside Australia’s top 10 in the 2013 Financial Review BOSS Magazine MBA survey in September, the Griffith MBA also retained its 5-star rating from the Graduate Management Association of Australia (GMAA).

The Griffith MBA also took out the Learning and Teaching category at the Green Gown Awards Australasia.
