ESCP Europe is accredited by the following bodies:EQUIS
The European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) has established high standards for the quality assessment of business schools, known as the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS). Of the several hundred business schools in Europe, only some have achieved EQUIS accreditation. ESCP Europe obtained its first accreditation in 1998, and was reaccredited in 2003 and in 2009.

The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is the leading American accrediting body of business schools. For many years, non-American business schools have enjoyed "membership" in the AACSB but only few have been truly accredited. AACSB accreditation means that the business school meets the same very high quality standards demanded of top American business schools. ESCP Europes degree programmes were accredited in 2003.
