Universities prepare professionals who will guide and influence organizations in the future, so the issue of qualitative, excellent business education is and will continue to be relevant. How to identify universities that provide qualitative business education is a topical issue for potential students, parents and universities themselves. Aim of this research was to explore what is understood in the scientific literature by “business education excellence and quality”, by which methods they are evaluated and raised and to develop recommendations for practically applicable methods in a university. It may be concluded that in the studies on the quality and/or excellence of higher education, the definitions of these terms are often not provided or are different and vary widely. The evaluation methods used are also different. Evaluating the quality and/or excellence of higher education is a difficult task and often impossible because it requires a standard to compare. The quality and/or excellence of higher education can be judged by the use of indicators, such as the number of companies established by graduates, profits of start-ups, the number of jobs created, the amount of taxes paid. In order to produce qualitative results, it is important to provide high quality inputs – program, academic staff, students, material resources, and environment. University ratings and quality certificates shall not be used as key tools for assessing the quality/excellence of higher education. Universities are facing new challenges and their success will be greatly influenced by their ability to change, to be fast, creative and cooperative.
