In June, Sobey School of Business Dean Dr. Harjeet Bhabra travelled to the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) Annual Conference in Lyon, France, to accept the business school’s EQUIS Award.
On October 25, 2022, the Sobey School of Business achieved EQUIS accreditation. This international accomplishment places high value on research and knowledge mobilization efforts and keeps the school on a short list of excellent academic institutions. The Sobey School is also AACSB accredited, making it part of the one percent of business schools worldwide to have AACSB and EQUIS accredited.
“This is one of the many ways we are upholding our ongoing commitment to excellence,” said Sobey School of Business Dean Dr. Harjeet Bhabra. “As the oldest and largest business school in the Atlantic region, we have a responsibility to provide quality education to our students, further research and knowledge mobilization, and uphold responsible ethics and leadership.”
EQUIS accreditation benchmarks the business school against international standards in governance, programs, students, faculty, research, internationalization, ethics, responsibility and sustainability.
The EQUIS accreditation is valid for three years. It is the leading international system of quality assessment, improvement, and accreditation of higher education institutions in management and business administration.
