aacsb vs acbsp

[freeloader]

AACSB vs. ACBSP is no longer a huge issue from what I have seen, especially in the workforce. The only time it does make a difference is when looking for teaching positions in academia. Outside of that, if someone is not interested in academia, they should pick the program that best suits them.

The only other time when AACSB makes a difference: if you want to get an AACSB MBA!  Then, they usually say something like "if you went to an AACSB school for your BSB, you're good - if you went to an ACBSP school, you need to jump through hoops and take 2-3 courses from us as pre-req's - and if you didn't got to either of those, we hate you."  I mean, I exaggerate, but only a little bit.

This isn't something I saw when I was looking at MBA programs.

I have seen this a few times in MBA and DBA/PhD admissions. 

Missouri State, a school that has been mentioned on this forum, lists graduating from an AACSB-accredited school as one of the requirements for a GMAT/GRE waiver, although the requirement was waived because of Covid and that waiver seems to be in place as of now:
