INCAE Business School has officially received joint accreditation from the Association of MBAs (AMBA) and the Business Graduates Association (BGA), two of the world’s leading authorities on business education.
INCAE Business School is located in Alajuela, Costa Rica and Montefresco, Nicaragua. The school was founded by Central American corporate executives in 1964 at the initiative of US President John F. Kennedy, with the strong support of Harvard Business School and Central American governments.
INCAE Business School has been re-accredited by AMBA and has newly been accredited by BGA.
As part of the joint AMBA & BGA accreditation, a panel of assessors comprised of senior business school leaders from across the globe evaluated the school. The panel commended the resilience that the school demonstrated in recent years in managing a series of challenging situations, especially with regards to the global pandemic. The panel also noted the significant impact and policy development the school had contributed to its region during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The panel also noted the school’s investment in digital transformation and online teaching, including the provision of online classroom support, training for faculty and impressive virtual classrooms.
Finally, the pre-experience Masters – the MAIT – introduced by the school was seen by the panel to be very attractive to students and was seen to extend the school’s portfolio, market reach and financial resilience.
AMBA & BGA’s rigorous assessment criteria ensure that only the highest-calibre schools which demonstrate the highest standards in teaching, curricula, and student interaction achieve accreditation.
