<p>I applied to business programs at a variety of different schools. However, some of the schools that I applied to are not accredited by the AACSB. Does this really matter? Also, when applying to graduate school will this hurt my chances if I have a degree from a school that is not accredited by the AACSB?</p>
<p>Hmmm...I thought AACSB was only really applicable to MBA programs.
But, if the undergrad programs are accredited as well, it can only help.</p>
<p>What schools are you considering?</p>
<p>I think undergraduate programs can be AACSB accredited. Anyone wish to comment?</p>
<p>^ looking at the AACSB website, both undergrad and grad programs are accredited.</p>
<p>There are 469 colleges with accreditations for both undergrad and grad and 42 with undergrad only...I'd try to go to one of these if I were you.</p>
<p>thanks for the information, I wonder how many undergraduate students know if their school is accredited?</p>
<p>If you're planning on doing graduate studies, don't worry about whether your undergraduate school is accredited (employers will only look at your grad school anyway). It essentially doesn't matter. </p>
<p>If you only want a bachelors and nothing more, accreditation could be good, but I wouldn't say that it will make or break you.</p>
<p>I understand that, but when you apply to graduate school don't they look to see if your undergraduate school is accredited?</p>
<p>Not that I know of?</p>
<p>I mean, you're not even required to major in business to get an MBA. I know people who studied things like statistics or marketing as undergrads then went on to study business later.</p>
<p>Good point, although marketing is business. Now that I think of it I know people who majored in something besides business and applied to graduate school for business. Thanks for your posts.</p>
