How do we see accreditations?
Accreditations are not only logos for websites, transcripts, or diplomas. Accreditations provide institutions with standards that help them design their activities (strategy, management, teaching, and learning) by assessing them against a benchmark based on the worldwide experience of the best organizations and academic institutions.
اعتماد ATEA
Business School Lausanne BSL is proud to announce its achievement of first-time institutional accreditation by the Association for Transnational Higher Education Accreditation (ATHEA), a respected international organization dedicated to ensuring quality and continuous improvement in education through institutional accreditation. This prestigious recognition underscores BSL’s unwavering commitment to academic excellence, sustainability, and student-centered learning.
Following a comprehensive evaluation process that included a thorough review of its programs, faculty, facilities, and resources, BSL welcomed a team of ATHEA representatives to campus for a rigorous peer review. Throughout the rigorous assessment, BSL demonstrated its commitment to student-centered learning and adaptive education tailored to meet societal needs.
“ATHEA’s institutional accreditation process was an opportunity to verify that Business School Lausanne is up to the European standards and guidelines for higher education”, said Dr. David Claivaz, BSL Acting Dean. Dominique Bourqui, Chief Academic Officer, further explained “The ATHEA’s accreditation process acknowledged BSL’s performance in leveraging information and data to design, redesign, and maintain academic programs that equip our graduates with the most up-to-date business knowledge and the most relevant business skills”.
With this accreditation, BSL joins an elite group of institutions recognized for their dedication to providing students and participants with a high-quality education that successfully prepares them to be leaders in a fast-changing landscape. Moreover, this milestone constitutes a significant step towards achieving national and international recognition, which elevates and brings more value to the degrees of our current students and alumni.
ACBSP Accreditation
BSL programs have been ACBSP accredited since 1996.
The accreditation of the BSL programs by ACBSP is there to help students validate their studies towards employers and academic institutions.
ACBSP accreditation has a special focus on employability.
“ACBSP’s accreditation process follows the Baldrige model. The accreditation focuses on recognizing teaching excellence, determining student learning outcomes, and a continuous improvement model. ACBSP’s student-centered teaching and learning approach, which is measured and analyzed for quality, ensures that students gain the right skills from their educational investment. Institutions with programs accredited by ACBSP are committed to continuous improvement that ensures their business program will give students the skills employers want.“
