Graduate School of Economics and Management became a member of AACSB International

GSEM has recently obtained membership in the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International), one of the most prestigious associations for higher education institutions implementing business education programmes.

Membership in the association gives an opportunity to take part in a wide range of events for the development of business education, receive an access to educational resources and databases, develop cooperation with the world's leading business schools and provide an opportunity to obtain AACSB accreditation.

AACSB International was founded in 1916. Currently the association includes more than 1,500 members from more than 90 countries. AACSB accreditation is considered among the most prestigious ones in the world, and together with accreditations of European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) and Association of MBA (AMBA) forms the so-called "triple crown" in the field of business education. At the moment, about 5% of the existing world business schools are accredited by AACSB.
