BI Norwegian Business School is a private, not-for-profit foundation and the largest business school in Norway, serving over 21,000 students across its campuses. Established in 1943 by Finn Øien as an evening school, the institution has grown significantly with its main campus in the Nydalen district of Oslo and regional locations in Bergen, Stavanger, and Trondheim. It is recognized globally for academic excellence, holding the rare “Triple Crown” accreditation from EQUIS, AACSB, and AMBA, a status shared by fewer than one percent of business schools worldwide.
