The Euro*MBA has gained Association of MBA accreditation

Maastricht, March 16, 2007. The Euro*MBA has gained Association of MBA (Amba) accreditation so joining the select club of the less than 1% of business education providers worldwide to hold the three major international quality accreditations (Amba, Equis and AACSB). Launched by a consortium of European management schools in 1996, the Euro*MBA already holds Equis and AACSB accreditation via its consortium members Audencia Nantes School of Management, EADA Barcelona, IAE Aix-en-Provence, LKAEM Warsaw and Universiteit Maastricht Business School. The programme, one of the first to combine e-learning with residential modules, runs over a two-year period. Participants cover 70% of their coursework via distance-learning modules and attend a residential week every four months in a different European city. Of the 68 executives currently enrolled on the programme, 12% are from North America, 10% form central and eastern Europe, 6% from Africa, 4% from Asia and the remainder from western Europe. Since 1967, the Association of MBAs has strived to promote Masters level education and to ensure a high standard of future business leaders. Its accreditation process was put in place to achieve these aims. The Euro*MBA programme of the Euro*MBA consortium is positioned amongst the top 15 Distance Learning programmes worldwide (Which MBA Guide, The Economist 2006) and celebrated its 10 th anniversary in 2006. //Euro*MBA
