Roxbourg Accreditation System is designed to accredit professionals who are accelerating humanitarian ventures. All accredited professionals can obtain the Roxbourg MBA License to start their own academy to coach Roxbourg MBA candidates.
Accreditation Philosophy
The Roxbourg Accreditation Board (RAB), made up of Roxbourg Fellows, Roxbourg Alumni, and Experts is responsible for grading Venture Plans that are submitted for review by the Roxbourg Masters and Doctorate candidates. Roxbourg utilizes the grades to make the following decisions regarding Certification or Accreditation based on what the candidate is applying for.
:: Certification: A 80% plus grade allows a candidate to graduate with a Roxbourg Degree* and 90% plus grade allows the candidate to also earn the Roxbourg Gold Medal.
:: Accreditation: A 80% plus grade allows the candidate to coach candidates at their own academy to earn their Roxbourg degree* and 90% plus grade allows the academy to also earn the Roxbourg Gold Medal.
*Roxbourg offers 11 Masters and Doctorate degrees.
Note: Please note the final grades are provided after a review of the facts. The certification and accreditation will be revoked at any time if untruthful information is provided to gain the certification or accreditation. Please see Roxbourg Policy.
WHY PROFESSIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION?
Swiss Innovation
Roxbourg is a Swiss innovation based on the “Apprenticeship System” that has been perfected in Switzerland and Germany over the past 100 years. You learn by doing.
Collaboration
The Swiss Apprenticeship System is highly structured. Being on time, respecting others, and focusing on the “joy of work” are some of the core values. You focus on deliverables.
Higher Education Everywhere
In 2015 / 2016, the Roxbourg Team launched GoodFestival with seed capital from the Lausanne and Vaud Governments in Switzerland which provided an opportunity to apply the principles of the Swiss Apprentice System to create a “Professional Higher Education” system for professionals who want to learn outside the campus.
Accreditation
In May 2020, Roxbourg completed the operational launch of the SwissMBA.Org Accreditation Program which became the basis of Accreditarium Decentralized Accreditation (ADA). Roxbourg accredits professionals.
Acceleration
In February 2021, with the seed funding from the State of Vaud Government in Switzerland, Roxbourg completed the operational launch of the Roxbourg HYPR Accelerator (now called Roxbourg Venture Accelerator), the world’s biggest equity-free, scholarship-based humanitarian accelerator.
Certification
Between 2021 and 2023, the Roxbourg Institute of Social Entrepreneurship (RISE) launched the Professional Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) and ten Professional Master of Business Administration (MBA) degrees where accredited Roxbourg Fellows certify candidates.
Digital Learning Platform
All Masters and Doctorate candidates are eligible to receive the Roxbourg ID powered by Google for Education and Acer for Education which provides access to the Roxbourg Digital Learning Platform that can turn any space into a micro-campus.
Go Global
At Roxbourg, candidates earn a Professional MBA or a Professional DBA degree by scaling up a sustainable project or a social venture that addresses the root cause of gender, environmental, or social inequity. Everyone can start their Professional Higher Education anywhere in the world and graduate in Switzerland.
Admissions Open
All applicants are eligible for a scholarship. The scholarship level depends on your professional achievements, current economic conditions and the scope of your social venture.
