Bocconi is a founding member of CEMS - The Global Alliance in Management Education, and the university through its graduate business school, SDA Bocconi School of Management, has received triple accreditation from the AACSB, EQUIS, and the AMBA[3] where it offers MBA, Executive MBA, DBA, professional development, executive education, and professional certification programs.

The campus is now located beside Parco Ravizza, between Via Sarfatti and Viale Bligny and consists of several buildings within walking distance to Porta Ticinese, the Basilica of Sant'Eustorgio: Several other administrative and research offices of Bocconi's institutes are scattered across the area, especially around Parco Ravizza and Viale Isonzo.

[citation needed] The university offers four three-year undergraduate courses in Economics which share a common basis in the first three semesters and then distinguish themselves from one another by focusing on either Finance (CLEF),[10] Social sciences (CLES)[11] or Business administration (CLEAM);[12] the fourth course is entirely taught in English (BIEF) and is targeted at both international students and students pursuing an international career.

[clarification needed][24] In 2011, the European Research Council (ERC) assigned around €5 million to five projects in the area "social science and humanities" led by five Bocconi professors.

This derives from the adage "Chi passa tra i Leoni non si laurea alla Bocconi.

"[110] If seen from the top, the three main buildings of Bocconi seem to spell "30L" (30 cum laude), the maximum achievable grade in any exam.

The building in Via Roentgen is the "3", the velodrome is the "0" and the main building is a cross of two "L"s.[111] The award for Alumnus of the Year was given for the first time in 2011 to Fabrizio Saccomanni, former general director of Bank of Italy, replacing the awards for Bocconian of the Year (given since 1988) and Master of Masters (given since 2007).
