FGV EAESP renews international accreditations and maintains its Triple Crown
The São Paulo School of Business Administration at Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV EAESP) has officially received the renewal of its accreditations from AACSB International and the Association of MBAs (AMBA), consolidating its position among the select group of 1% of business schools in the world that hold the Triple Crown — certifications from AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA.
AACSB International
The leading American accreditor of business schools with global operations, AACSB adopts rigorous international quality standards, focusing on excellence in teaching, research and learning.
FGV EAESP was the first Brazilian institution to receive this recognition and has remained among the best business schools in the world since 2000. With this renewal for another six years, the School has achieved its fourth reaccreditation by AACSB.
Association of MBAs (AMBA)
AMBA accreditation is one of the highest recognitions in graduate executive education. Its rigorous criteria ensure that only programs of excellence, with a solid curriculum and strong student interaction, obtain this certification.
During the reaccreditation process, AMBA evaluators — leaders in global business schools — highlighted FGV EAESP’s reputation and prestige, both in Brazil and internationally. This recognition is driven by the School’s participation in global networks of excellence, such as CEMS, PIM, GNAM and OneMBA.
Commitment to excellence
For Luiz Artur Ledur Brito, director of FGV EAESP, these achievements reaffirm the institution’s commitment to high-level education: “The reaccreditations by AACSB and AMBA reinforce FGV EAESP’s dedication to offering world-class management education. They are a reflection of our ongoing pursuit of academic excellence, innovation and global engagement. We are proud to be part of an elite network that shapes the future of education in administration and management, and we remain committed to expanding our impact in Brazil and around the world.”
Triple Crown with EQUIS
In addition to the AACSB and AMBA accreditations, FGV EAESP has maintained the EFMD EQUIS seal since 2001, ensuring its position among the few globally recognized institutions with the Triple Crown. The last renewal took place in 2022 and is valid for five years.
In Brazil, the School was a pioneer in achieving this recognition and continues to be the only one, among the three Brazilian institutions with this distinction, to have accreditation for the maximum period in all three organizations.
Benefits of global accreditations
International recognition strengthens FGV EAESP and generates direct impacts for its academic community:
- Students and alumni: Certification that attests to academic excellence, facilitating recognition of training in institutions around the world.
- Teachers and researchers: Greater insertion in global academic networks and expansion of strategic partnerships.
- Internationalization: Expansion of exchange programs, double degrees and academic alliances with leading institutions.
