<p>Hey I will be attending Capital University in Ohio for accounting and economics. I was reading taxguy's accounting guide and saw that accreditation was important. Capital is a MEMBER of the AACSB but not listed under accredited schools, what does this mean? They are also a member AND accredited by ACBSP for undergrad, mba and accounting programs; is this sufficient accreditation?</p>
<p>My main question is will these stats still allow me to get good job interviews/internships?
Thanks for any help, if Tax guy is available i'd love to here from him.</p>
<p>bumping for an answer!</p>
<p>Being a member of AACSB just means you paid a fee. However, to become accredited by AACSB you must be a member. In other word, Capital may just be a member or in the process of trying to get AACSB.</p>
<p>AACSB is the better accreditation. But that does not mean you cant get a good job from a non AACSB school.</p>
<p>The school I work for is in the process of trying to get AACSB. We have a visitation team coming in May. The chair elect of the board of AACSB was just at our school on Friday as a consultant. Our accounting program is not actually being considered for accreditation, just our business program.</p>
<p>Yet we have consistently placed accounting students in internships at the top four accounting firm and our top students are consistently given offers even w\o internships. We just placed 3 interns at JPMorgan this summer. Back office jobs, but none the less very lucrative and selective internships. </p>
<p>So you can do well especially if you have a high gpa. So good luck to you.</p>
<p>thanks for the answer! gonna bump for more opinions hopefully.</p>
