This is great news! It just bumped up my in-progress MBA from regionally accredited to ACBSP.

[/quote] Exactly. There are certain employers in my area that only want AACSB or ACBSP grads for select positions. This just gives me more options.

I've never really seen an employer who cares about this, so I'm interested in learning in which areas it might be important (aside form academia)

If you are an accountant, certain states require undergrad/grad to come from an ACBSP or AACSB school to sit for the CPA exam. I would imagine that accounting firms in these states would prefer applicants from ACBSP/AACSB schools for that reason.
