Yanji Wrote:Perhaps I overstated the importance of AACSB accreditation in the accounting profession. While I personally would not consider a non-AACSB graduate accounting program, I didn't mean to imply that it was a necessary accreditation. There are plenty of tenure-track faculty in my MBA program without AACSB degrees at any level, so I'm not even sure if AACSB is even necessary for academia. Of course, most American business schools that have any level of significant research activity are AACSB accredited so this ends up de facto holding, but plenty of business professors with doctorates from schools like McGill, Oxford and Cambridge teach at AACSB schools not just in America, but worldwide.
I definitely agree with you that small programs, both in-person and online, have the advantage of personal attention which you just can't get anywhere else, especially at a call center dependent school. I was just pointing out that small class size also comes with limitations such as course selection, cross-program registration opportunities and possibly fewer academic resources, although I doubt TESC provides above average academic resources to their graduate students.
When I was answering a question on another forum, I remembered EQUIS and AMBA. They are considered to be the equivalent of AACSB. McGill, Oxford, and Cambridge have EQUIS accreditation, so it could be that AACSB-accredited schools are as strict about faculty credentials as believed.
