International Membership
College of Management, NSYSU is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB)
College of Management, NSYSU is leading in its field in Taiwan and consistently holds top ranking positions. We were the first business school in Taiwan joining the AACSB Business Education Alliance. Having met the highest quality standards for business education worldwide, we were accredited in 2005—the first national university in Taiwan to achieve this distinction—and are currently one of the 28 business schools in Taiwan to hold AACSB accreditation.
AACSB accreditation is the hallmark of excellence and the highest standard of achievement for business education worldwide. AACSB-accredited schools undergo a review to earn an extension on their previous accreditation every five years. We have an impressive history of achievement with AACSB, having been re-accredited three consecutive times. Notably, we were re-accredited under the most recent 2020 standards. We at the College of Management will continue to pursue excellence throughout our program.
College of Management, NSYSU, was affiliated with the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) in 2015.
EFMD, established in 1972, is an accreditation body for academic institutions dedicated to promoting and enhancing excellence in management development globally. EFMD plays a central role in shaping the global approach to management education. An improvement system known as European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) was introduced as a quality benchmark for business institutes. Unlike AACSB, EQUIS accreditation system places more focus on Ethics, Responsibility, Sustainability, and engagement with the world of practice. To date, the EFMD program accreditation system has a remarkable feat. With the support of over 966 members across 90 countries, only 200 universities are officially accredited.

The Palme leagues are categorized into five levels ranking from the first awarding schools that demonstrate a considerable level of local influence to the fifth representing institutions with high-level international appeal. Yearly the Eduniversal World Convention takes place in a new geographical zone.
