For a Bachelor's don't worry about it. If you have an employer that wants it, they're usually trying to recruit talent from bigger schools.

For 99% of jobs you don't need acbsp accrediation.

ACBSP and AACSB are both private accreditations and not endorsed by the US government

There are institutions that are somewhat picky, and it's really entertaining, some require ACBSP or AACSB Bachelors to get into their graduate Masters programs.  Many AACSB or ACBSP graduate programs accept individuals from non AACSB/ACBSP into their programs as long as they meet entry requirements and degrees not even in business.

We've recommended HAU MBA because of the cost at $3K for the entire degree, it's RA, that's the main thing you need.  There are other institutions that are just NA and cost more than that.  WGU MBA you mentioned has the ACBSP but a tad over $3K, it's great to ladder from the UMPI degree into the WGU MBA.  It really depends on the student needs or wants...

As mentioned, don't put too much into the programmatic/secondary accreditation, it's a nice to have, but not required.  Here's a recent example of someone doing a FREE Associates, ladder to a cheap Bachelors and got into a very good AACSB Masters MBA from LSU-S.

You sure? I am quite worried. I just realized and I am very close to finishing this term. Should I switch to the BLS, then get an MBA from WGU that is accredited?
