CEEMAN IQA - International Quality Accreditation

CEEMAN IQA procedure

Eligibility criteria:

1. CEEMAN membership.
2. An institution whose primary mission is management or business education. Management faculties or departments that are embedded in schools of economics or in technical universities may be accredited but not the larger non-management institutions that contain them.
3. A minimum of five years of operation.
4. A minimum of three graduating cohorts in each of its major groups of program offerings.

CEEMAN IQA accreditation status is granted for an initial period of six years after which the institution could apply for re-accreditation. During this period, membership fee is to be settled annually.

To support schools that demonstrate strong potential for earning a six-year accreditation but are not yet fully prepared, we offer a two-year conditional accreditation. This provisional status is granted with the clear expectation that, within two years, the institution will show meaningful progress across our three core measures: excellence, relevance, and dynamism. If such progress is evident, the school will then be granted the full six-year accreditation. To assist in this journey, IQA also provides optional support mechanisms designed to help schools realize their full potential.

CEEMAN IQA Fees

For initial accreditation, the fee of 14 750* EUR is charged as follows:
