Here’s all you need to know: go to indeed.com or the job search engine of your choice. Type in the major urban area of your choice. Then type in ACBSP as a search term.
I did this for the New York, NY metro area. I also did a search for AACSB, probably the premier business school accreditor in the United States. Know how many currently active jobs have AACSB or ACBSP listed as in their job ads in the New York metro area right now? Zero. There are 10,000 plus jobs in accounting and finance alone in that area, to say nothing of other business fieldsC listed on indeed. None of them mention AACSB or ACBSP. None.
I am in the accounting world and have been for a few years. I think I have seen 2 or 3 job ads* that mentioned programmatic accreditation. They wanted AACSB-accredited degrees.
The asterisk is because you will, as others note, see the requirement for programmatic accreditation for some college and university teaching jobs. But they care about your highest degree. If you want to teach, do really well at UMPI and apply to competitive, AACSB-accredited grad programs. Academic employers will care about your graduate degree(s).
