<p>Will a graduate in MIS from a accredited college by AACSB have a better chance of landing a job against someone who doesn't. If so what can the graduate from a non accredited college do to stand out more then the person who graduate from a accredited school of business?</p>
<p>I can’t give you too detailed of an answer, but I would say a degree from an accredited school appeals more to employers than getting a degree from a school that’s not accredited. </p>
<p>As far as what can a graduate from a NA school do to stand out more, I would say the GPA and the length and number of your internships as well as other work experience. Oh, and also the obvious interview. If you were to present yourself in a much better manner, have a number of internships during your time in undergraduate school, and if your GPA is considerably higher, then the employer would without a doubt hire you.</p>
<p>Few worthwhile business schools are not AACSB accredited. It is increasingly becoming a “minimum standard” for schools seeking more prestige, which is of course critical for employment prospects. But note what I said, “minimum standard.” AACSB in of itself does not grant greater prestige/employment prospects - it is one of many components. I graduated from an AACSB-accredited college, and the curriclum was still significantly below average (despite a recent review and re-accreditation by the AACSB) compared to other curriculums, and the school’s reputaiton among employers is still non-existent.</p>
<p>So a lack of AACSB accreditation should be cause to investigate further, but an AACSB school is not guaranteed to be better than (or even as good as) a non-AACSB school. MIS is one major where school curriculum and prestige is particularly important. If you are not going to a top school, you should strongly consider a Computer Science degree or another field altogether.</p>
<p>I plan to minor in CS instead of majoring and the college isn’t top 10 but its top 30 ranked by U.S news site in the south of regional accredited universities.</p>
