It can matter for people wanting to become CPAs. Utah requires you to have a graduate degree from an AACSB or ACBSP accredited university to sit for their CPA exam. There are a number of states that give preference to people with AACSB accredited degrees—people with non-accredited degrees have to have more total hours of accounting and business coursework to sit for their exams. Don’t know if OP wants to become a CPA, but might be useful for others to know about.
I have also seen a number of job posts for accountants where having an AACSB accredited degree was either required or was basically a substitute for additional experience (5 years of relevant experiences OR an AACSB MAcc/MBA-Accounting type thing).
The other place I have seen this come up is with PhD and DBA programs at some AACSB-accredited schools requiring prior degrees be from AACSB accredited schools.
