America's First Globally Certified Impact Business School

The UW-Whitewater College of Business and Economics has made history.

We are the first business school in the United States to earn the EFMD Global Business School Impact System (BSIS) label -- an independently verified certification awarded by EFMD Global, one of the world's most respected business education accreditation bodies, to schools that can prove their impact with evidence. Just over 100 schools in 30 countries hold this distinction. As of this year, one of them is in Whitewater, Wisconsin.

This is not a ranking. It is proof.

Independent international experts evaluated CoBE across seven dimensions of impact and confirmed what we have always believed: this college makes a measurable, lasting difference to the students it educates, the businesses it serves, and the communities it calls home.
