The accreditation is awarded to business schools based on general quality. The process also takes into account the business school's level of internationalization, which is not a strict requirement for accreditation by the other two major international accreditation bodies:AACSBandAMBA.[6]As of 2014, all fully accredited EQUIS business schools applying for AACSB accreditation have succeeded, which has not been the case the other way.[7]
EQUIS accreditation can be granted for three years (with annual progress reports on the areas of improvement required) or for five years (with a mid-term progress report on development objectives required).[8]
