WashU Olin Accreditation and Rankings
Triple Accreditation
Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis is accredited by the three most recognized business school accreditation organizations. As of August 2020, just over 100 of the nearly 13,000 business schools in the world earned this honor—that’s fewer than 1% of all business schools.
Accreditation from the world's leading accrediting association for business schools certifies that Olin’s programs meet or exceed a wide range of rigorous quality standards for curriculum, research, admissions standards, graduation requirements and resources.
AMBA accredits post-graduate business programs at more than 260 Business Schools in more than 75 countries, with a philosophy focused on accreditation impact, employability and learning outcomes. This accreditation certifies that Olin’s MBA programs reflect changing trends and innovation in the postgraduate education sector.
EQUIS accreditation ensures a rigorous quality control, benchmarking a school against international standards in terms of governance, programs, students, faculty, research, internationalization, ethics, responsibility and sustainability, as well as engagement with the world of practice.
