New WGU MS in Management and Leadership

Employers rarely ask for AACSB accreditation. Having a highly ranked MBA would be nice and those happen to be AACSB accredited, but AACSB accreditation doesn't do much for an unranked MBA program. It's more important for academia.

In the more traditional post-MBA job market, often graduates are hired by employers that recruit at business schools – through the career center, job fairs, etc. It's possible some employers open these channels preferentially to AACSB schools.
