upGrad MBA from Paris School of Business - artem - 07-11-2025
I am considering pursuing an upGrad MBA from the Paris School of Business.
This program lasts one year and has triple accreditation from AACSB, AMBA, and EFMD.
However, I have some concerns. It appears that the MBA program may not be accredited by the French government, which raises questions about evaluation.
For instance, I couldn't find the Paris School of Business in the WES database. Additionally, Anabin gives it an H+/- rating and indicates that not all programs are accredited, only the five-year Master in Management program.
What are your thoughts on this?

MBA's are a dime a dozen, it's too general for the most part. Having additional accreditation is great, but not many people really need that programmatic or secondary recognition. Many go for a slightly different subject area, Accounting, Management, Organizational Leadership, etc, it's all under the umbrella and is more of a concentration or focus.
If you're in America or Australia for example, I would focus on those that are in the US/UK, even Australia, Canada, or New Zealand. If you're in the EU, it's a different story, you will need to decide with respect to what your country will look at the degree. Find a comparable offering that may be more recognized if you're in Germany and need that H+ instead.

Can you provide proof of government accreditation? I can't find the program in the registry on the French Ministry for Higher Education and Research website.

Upgrad is cheap but some of their school partners are questionable. EFMD is a programmatic accreditation that some hold if they are accredited by Equis. Triple accrediaitation is the gold standard. The Paris School of Business is a for profit university assembled through aggressive acquisition of failing but accredited schools over the last decade. I am uncertain if they will be able to retain their accreditations. Their domain name alone may cause prospective employers concern. The University of London, home of LSE and LBS, has an online Global MBA for under $20K.

How long have you been in the Ed.D. program? Which of the five tracks did you select? How have you found it so far? Would you recommend it others?
