HAU's MBA has additional Accreditation - Heartstrings - 08-27-2024
I was looking at HAU'S MBA program and I noticed that now their MBA program has IACBE accreditation now. On the MBA website at HAU it is still advertised as $3000. If that additional accreditation is important it seems even more worth it.

Very interested in this, my brother is looking into this program seriously.

Not exactly, they're not accredited by IACBE, they're just an educational member, which means they just signed up for membership and their programs haven't gone through an accreditation process... AACSB, ACBSP, also have the same thing, accredited institutions and educational members.
HAU is just RA, it's good enough for many (including me), IACBE is just not well known... Some public/state universities have IACBE, but I would recommend ACBSP or AACSB instead.

Thanks for clarifying.

I just got my acceptance letter today for the MBA program at HAU.
I'm treating it with the thought that most business schools are ranked by the number of graduates picked up by top companies in C-Suite positions granting $500,000k+ salary packages. Something heavily influenced by the contacts and relationships gained and fostered by attending these top-ranked business schools.
Rather, I'm just an engineer who's reached the top of my career track on the technical stuff and now the next logical step is business/engineering management. I'm happy to see a concentration in operational excellence appears to be offered. I'd be more concerned about the other accreditation if I had a business-only focus in my career.

If anyone has any concerns they can finish the degree for $3000 and transfer credits to another degree in business administration with a different concentration, project management degree, management degree, organizational leadership, etc. Most programs will accept RA credits and it could lower the cost and amount of courses needed to finish.
