International
Accreditation
What is EQUIS?
EQUIS (the European Quality Improvement System)
is the accrediting body of the European
Federation for Management Development (EFMD) and
the leading international system of quality
assessment, improvement, and accreditation of
higher education institutions in management and
business administration.
The fundamental objective of EQUIS is to raise
the standard of management education worldwide.
Accredited institutions must demonstrate quality
in all dimensions of their activities, from
research, education programs, support services,
internationalization and corporate connections
through to the school’s mission and corporate
governance. The prestigious EQUIS quality
assurance mark is awarded only after a rigorous
Peer Review process, in which a team of senior
members of leading business schools carefully
evaluate all factors related to the operation of
the School.
What does
EQUIS accreditation mean to Ivey?
Ivey first received accreditation in 2002. The
re-accreditation process undertaken in 2007
provided an opportunity to benchmark the
School’s strategies and processes against a
global set of leading schools in business
education. With glowing praise from the Awarding
Council in June 2007, Ivey was granted
reaccreditation for a five year period (2007 –
2012), confirming that the School’s
Cross-Enterprise Leadership strategy and
programs meet or exceed international standards
of quality.
