NHH Earns AACSB International Accreditation

NHH Norwegian School of Economics has earned AACSB business accreditation. `We congratulate NHH and Rector Øystein Thøgersen on earning accreditation, and applaud the entire NHH team´, said Stephanie M. Bryant at AACSB.

Founded in 1916, AACSB is the longest-serving global accrediting body for business schools, and the largest business education network connecting learners, educators, and businesses worldwide. 

An endorsement

AACSB accreditation recognizes institutions that have demonstrated a focus on excellence in all areas, including teaching, research, curriculum development, and student learning.

`NHH Norwegian School of Economics’ commitment to earning accreditation is a true reflection of their dedication—not only to their students, alumni network, and greater business community, but to the higher education industry as a whole, said Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB.

Triple Crown

Rector Øystein Thøgersen is honored to be awarded accreditation from the most prestigious business school accrediting body:

NHH has accreditation from all three major accreditation bodies: AACSB in the USA, AMBA in the United Kingdom and EQUIS in the EU. `The AASCB accreditation complements the two international accreditations NHH has from before´, said Rector Øystein Thøgersen.
