Abstract: Abstract This chapter offers valuable insights on how rankings and accreditations aid in making well-informed MBA choices. It explores the distinction between rankings, which provide more quantitative assessments, and accreditations, which focus more on qualitative aspects. Rankings create a competitive environment, while accreditations delve deeper into the nuanced dimensions of business schools and MBA programs. The chapter delves into the factors and formats involved in rankings and accreditations, highlighting their respective strengths and limitations. Additionally, it emphasizes the significance of “Triple Accreditation” and recommends creating your own personal ranking of rankings.
