or unaccredited.

Well, programmatically unaccredited.

Merlin certainly understands the distinction, but a newcomer might not. Plenty of legit, accredited schools have very good business programs that are not programmatically accredited.

In the real world, outside of academia and perhaps some very high level wall street jobs or specific licensure related fields, no one gives a care a about AACSB, et al.

Sorry, my bad. I should have mentioned that. I fixed it in my original post. Yes, a college or university doesn't need a specific business program accreditation to offer legit business degrees; as long as the college or university itself is RA (or NA) accredited, that is all that is required. But like jsd says, there are some organizations that do care more about such things, particularly when looking at accounting degrees and the like.

The original poster mentioned AACSB, which is the highest regarded of the business program accreditors, so clearly they have a specific need for that level of accreditation.
