What We Do For Business Schools and Students
The impact of BGA membership reaches far and wide. Business schools can become future pioneers for sustainable business education in responsible management, positive impact and lifelong learning.
While many accreditation bodies are prescriptive in nature, BGA focuses instead on positive impact. This leads to a more consultative process, where schools can improve in areas such as economic significance, improved stakeholder management and strategic alignment, a desirable image, and the path towards internationalisation.

BGA continues to thrive year after year. Representing 65+ countries, our membership has navigated global challenges with resilience, expanding our worldwide network, strengthening connections, and driving growth across the business education community.
