AACSB accreditation is almost meaningless to students. There are three exceptions. First, it tends to correlate with school rankings--most (but not all) highly regarded B-schools are also accredited by AACSB.
Second, having a bachelor's from an AACSB-accredited school can make admission to an AACSB-accredited MBA easier. You might avoid some pre-requisite work and the admissions process will look upon you more favorably.
Finally, if one wished to pursue an academic career in this subject, getting one's doctorate from an AACSB-accredited program is the way to go. You'll be hard-pressed to teach at one with a degree from one.
Of course, with all such thing your personal experience might differ. And there are exceptions to just about every norm.
