AACSB International Executive Vice President Stephanie M. Bryan praises HEC Liege High School!

HEC Liege is the first business school in Belgium to receive both AACSB and EQUIS accreditation, with only 0.75% of business schools worldwide receiving both accreditations.

AACSB International Executive Vice President and Chief Accreditation Officer Stephanie M. Bryan praised the University of Liege's HEC Liege, noting, "AACSB-accredited institutions promote high quality standards in all areas, including teaching, research, curriculum and student achievement. Since receiving AACSB accreditation, HEC Liege has made great strides in teaching, research, and progress in alumni development and internationalization, and it deserves its reputation."

It has been said, "It is impossible and unrealistic for us to use yesterday's knowledge and educate today's students to cope with tomorrow's changes."

Therefore, in the era of lifelong learning, the value of the existence of school education lies not only in transmitting knowledge, but also in cultivating future-oriented talents.

What are the criteria for a future-oriented education?

Founded in 1916, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB), the largest business education network connecting students, educators and businesses around the world, has identified 15 international standards to measure the quality of teaching services in business schools around the world. These standards ensure continuous improvement in education and focus business schools on fulfilling their mission to promote innovation and enhance impact. AACSB-accredited institutions have successfully passed the business education community's rigorous review process, ensuring that they have the resources and capacity to provide students with a first-class, future-oriented business education.

Sharing the AACSB philosophy, the AACSB-accredited HEC Liege High School of Business at the University of Liege is committed to educating and developing creative, versatile and highly responsible executives who will be able to meet the challenges of the world of tomorrow on a global scale.

AACSB accreditation is not only a recognition of the quality of teaching at HEC Liege High School, but also an authoritative proof that HEC Liege High School has a world-class level of business education and a deep academic heritage.

Remembering the past, a century of years to pass on the fire, plum full of spring; look at the present, the first heart does not forget to cast the spirit of the teacher, the spring sunshine all over.
