Hello! Hopefully I can help a smidge. I earned my MBA from an AACSB Accredited program and I am currently pursuing a specialized masters from a Top 15 B-School (Duke University). Coupled with my professional experience, I was able to land an Adjunct Professor role at an AACSB Accredited B-School. I also Academic Coach for undergraduate Business Ethics at an AACSB program and MBA level Fraud Examination Through Data Analytics at another AACSB program.
For each role, AACSB Accreditation was a large component that they were looking for, although likely not a deal breaker if someone had phenomenal professional experience. I always highly recommend pursuing a graduate business degree at a program that is AACSB accredited, especially if you have any desire to move into academia in some capacity.
Like others have said, if you can pursue a PhD full-time at an AACSB school, then do it. That’ll help you much more if you desire to move into full-time tenure track roles.
