FGV EAESP receives Association of MBAs (AMBA) re-accreditation

Upon receiving AMBA re-accreditation, all current MBA and recent MBA alumni of FGV EAESP are invited to continue to be part of AMBA’s global member community of more than 60,000 students and alumni in more than 150 countries on a free basis, for networking, thought leadership, career development, and a variety of benefits.

Accreditation from AMBA represents the highest standard of achievement in post-graduate business education. Its rigorous assessment criteria ensure that only the highest-calibre programmes which demonstrate the best standards in teaching, curriculum, and student interaction achieve AMBA accreditation.

FGV EAESP is a private, non-profit Brazilian higher education institution founded in 1954. The school is one of the top business schools in Brazil and one of the 11 schools that comprise Fundação Getulio Vargas.

During the re-accreditation process conducted by AMBA, members of the accreditation panel, representing senior management from global business schools, commended the overall reputation and prestige of EAESP nationally and internationally, which they saw evidenced by their membership of elite networks like CEMS, PIM, GNAM, OneMBA.

They were also impressed with the success of the specialised executive Master´s in Management for Competitiveness.

Finally, the panel mentioned the generous and relevant scholarship programmes at the school, a good example of this highlighted by the panel being the women in entrepreneurship scholarship programme.

"The re-accreditation by AMBA reaffirms FGV EAESP’s dedication to delivering world-class management education. This recognition reflects our continuous pursuit of academic excellence, innovation, and global engagement. We take pride in being part of an elite network of institutions shaping the future of business education and look forward to further strengthening our impact both in Brazil and internationally."

— Luiz Artur Ledur Brito, Dean of FGV EAESP

AMBA accreditation is international in scope and reach, and AMBA works under the belief that accredited programmes should be of the highest standard and consider changing trends and innovation in post-graduate management education. Its accreditation process reflects this commitment to fostering innovation, and demanding business schools to perform at the highest level continually.

Andrew Main Wilson, Chief Executive of the Association of MBAs and Business Graduates Association (BGA) said: “I am absolutely delighted that FGV EAESP has been re-accredited. This school is an important part of our network and is doing truly inspiring work both in Brazil and on a global scale. I look forward to working with this school as we move forward.”

About FGV EAESP

FGV EAESP achieved the triple accreditation in 2004. At that time less than 30 schools in the world had the triple crown. This allowed the school to build one of the best international networks in the world. The high standards set by the three accreditation bodies also guided the school to continue to develop and grow at the best international level. The accreditations bring benefits to all school’s stakeholders. Students (prospect, current, and alumni) have an assurance of a high quality and international recognition of their degrees. Some of the degrees, like the PhD, have an automatic recognition in several countries. Faculty and staff have exceptional opportunities for international exchange and for developing research and collaboration alliances. Faculty attraction is also enhanced. The accreditations also contribute decisively to create double degrees and exchange agreements with the top business schools in the world offering to Brazilian and South American students a complete international experience.
