| Why
is the Carlos III MBA less expensive than
other MBA programs? |
| Carlos III is a public, non-profit
university. In other schools, a large percentage
of tuition is used to finance costly marketing
campaigns aimed at recruiting new students for
future editions. At Carlos III we limit those
marketing expenses so that you pay less. We focus
our expenses in maintaining and improving the
quality of the program. Our high standard of
quality is guaranteed by our international accreditation
from the Association of MBAs. |

| What
is the AMBA accreditation? |
International accreditations
are quality certificates which are obtained after
a rigorous external auditing procedure which
takes into account the quality of the admissions'
process, the curricular structure, the methods
of delivery, the faculty, the facilities and
the career opportunities (among other things).
The AMBA (Association of MBAs) accreditation
is one of the three big international business
school accreditations, and the only one that
refers strictly to MBA programs. Despite the
large number of MBA programs, in Spain there
are only five AMBA-accredited schools: Universidad
Carlos III, ESADE, Instituto de Empresa, IESE,
and EADA. Accreditation entitles our alumni to
be members of AMBA, a world network of MBA professionals.
