NCCU College of Commerce Office of Accreditation and Assessment

    EFMD is the abbreviation of the European Foundation for Management Development. Members consists of elites from education, industry, non-profit organization, and management backgrounds. There are over 600 institutional and 15,000 individual members from more than 70 countries.

    EFMD was created to act as a bridge between academia and industry, to enhance the education quality of the member schools, and offer an interactive platform for professionals, institutions and international organizations of business management. Various business school accreditation certificates (e.g. EQUIS and EPAS), and corporation accreditation certificates (e.g. CLIP) are issued as followed.

    The EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System ) and AACSB are two major global authoritative business school accreditation certificates issued by the EFMD.  EQUIS accreditation focuses on “globalization” and “cooperation among corporations”. It is an elite certificate and is only granted to top schools worldwide.  More than 600 institutions have received AACSB accreditation, but only 170 schools have received EQUIS accreditation, and all of them are top colleges around the world.

    Since passing EQUIS accreditation in 2010, the NCCU College of Commerce 2010, continues to actively cooperate with elite EQUIS members (institutions). It has received a five-year accreditation, the highest honor of EQUIS since 2016 and received another 5-year re-accreditation in 2021. It has become the first and the only school with these three international business school accreditation certificates.
