How important is AACSB or ACBSP accreditation?

[LevelUP]

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).

I was going to guess this as well that certain states might have licensing restrictions that require certain accredited degrees.

For a job, it doesn't matter.
