About the University
The Aalto Executive Education Academy is the executive education arm of Aalto University, Finland. Established in 2010, Aalto University is a new university yet with centuries of experience. Aalto University was created from the merger of three highly established and renowned Finnish universities: namely, The Helsinki School of Economics, Helsinki University of Technology, and The University of Art and Design Helsinki. Aalto University is strongly future-oriented while, at the same time, building on the combined 300-year-history of three highly regarded universities.
The Aalto University MBA Board of Studies (BoS) oversees the academic quality of the Aalto MBA Portfolio. The BoS is comprised of representatives of Aalto University Executive Education – the Academic Director and Business Area Director (Degree Programs) – together with the Head of Development of Aalto University School of Business and professors of different disciplines from Aalto University. Aalto University holds the Triple Crown of the most prestigious academic accreditations for business schools around the world. Aalto University was awarded the AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) accreditation in 2007. The AACSB was the world's first, and is still the largest, accreditation organization for business schools. AACSB accreditation is further proof to participants, applicants, employees, partners, corporations, and benefactors that Aalto University’s educational programs and related services are truly world class. The Aalto MBA and Aalto Executive MBA programs have been accredited by AMBA, the UK-based Association of MBAs, since 1997.
