Otto Beisheim School of Management accredited with AACSB
MBA News Barbara Bierach / 02-02-2011
WHU Otto Beisheim School of Management earned accreditation with Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the most important and longest serving global accrediting body for business schools that offer undergraduate, master’s and doctoral degrees in business and accounting. Today, there are 607 accredited schools in 38 countries. Similarly, 175 institutions maintain an additional specialized AACSB accreditation for their accounting programs.
AACSB International also announced that Centrum Católica in Peru, Elisabeth City State University, University of St. Thomas-Minnesota and Ramapo College of New Jersey, all in the US, Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier in France, Insper Instituto de Ensino e Pesquisa in Brazil, Lingnan University in China, University of Melbourne in Australia, University of Victoria in Canada and Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand earned AACSB accreditation in business.
Otto Beisheim School of Management is the fourth Business School within Germany which has successfully undergone the accreditation process of the AACSB. WHU has been the first Business School in Germany which earned the Equis accreditation in 1998 and has been successfully reaccredited by EFMD in 2008. In the Financial Times' current ranking of European Business schools WHU ranks 29th.
Apart from offering a full-time and a part-time MBA program, WHU offers a two year part time EMBA together with Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, USA. The EMBA ranks currently 14th in the annual ranking of the Financial Times. Also the Bucerius Law School in Hamburg and the WHU offer a joint program for students whose first degree is in law or business studies. The Bucerius/WHU Master of Law and Business-Joachim Herz Program aims to convey both law studies and business studies areas of knowledge in combined lectures on special topic areas.
WHU was founded in 1984 at the initiative of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Koblenz. After more than 25 years the school's humble beginnings in an elementary school in Koblenz are as much forgiven as the opposition in Germany against a private university is forgotten.

Congratulations to WHU for the accreditation, I had a priviledge of attending a study tour to WHU in 2009 with the University of Stellenbosch Business school from South Africa. The lecturers were excellent, well informed and friendly. I learned a lot, I would recommend the Business School to anyone.
