Each association assesses different aspects of a business school. For instance, AMBA looks specifically at the MBA, whereas EQUIS looks at all aspects of management training and development, whether undergraduate or postgraduate focused. Generally speaking, the AACSB and EQUIS accreditation take the most wide-ranging view of a particular institution, whereas AMBA looks more at particular aspects of the teaching curriculum and focus more the evaluation of MBA programs.

• AMBA - The Association of MBAs
