28 Jul 2025

Global recognition of excellence, achieved in 2025, the year of the school's 60th anniversary

IPAG Business School is proud to announce that it has been awarded AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) accreditation, one of the most prestigious labels in the world of higher management education.

This distinction, awarded in July 2025, recognizes the school's ambitious strategy, excellent teaching methods and strong commitment to innovation and international development.

Founded in 1916, the AACSB is the world's oldest accreditation body for business schools. To date, less than 6% of business schools worldwide hold this label. IPAG joins a select network of schools recognized for their academic rigor, societal impact and ability to train tomorrow's leaders.

« This accreditation validates years of collective work, commitment and innovation. It testifies to the quality of our teaching, our research and our international outlook. It reinforces the value of our diplomas for our students and alumni worldwide. It also confirms the relevance of the strategic plan we have been implementing since 2025, and reinforces our direction.»
Olivier Maillard, Managing Director, IPAG Business School

« IPAG Business School's commitment to obtaining this accreditation reflects its desire to serve its students, its alumni network and its entire ecosystem, as well as to contribute to the development of higher education as a whole. »

AACSB accreditation requires schools to undergo a rigorous peer review process to ensure that they have the resources, skills and commitment needed to deliver a forward-looking, high-impact education.
