Why is AACSB accreditation important?

As a prospective student:

Going to college is a big investment. You are going to spend hours studying, writing papers, and taking exams. You also are going to spend a lot of money. All that work and money should give you what you paid for, right?

Not all schools will provide you a return on your investment. AACSB Accreditation ensures a school isn't just taking your money. AACSB-accredited schools must pass very rigorous quality standards. They have been proven to provide the best in business education worldwide.

AACSB-accredited schools:

• are recognized worldwide by top employers and other universities.
• have employers that only hire their graduates.
• have more access to recruiters.
• have graduates that receive higher, more competitive salaries.
• say being accredited improves the quality of their business programs.
• say being accredited helps them hire and retain the best professors and researchers.
• have students that are more international, have high-graduating GPAs, and are likely to earn higher levels of education.
• are challenging and will teach you the best skills to give you a distinct advantage in the real world.

As an employer:

Employers want quality business graduates from quality business schools ... graduates they know will perform on day one. This is why it is so important to choose a business degree program that will teach you the knowledge and skills employers require. Employers know a good business school from one that doesn't produce knowledgeable graduates.

Here are the facts:

• Many top, global corporations only recruit from AACSB-accredited schools.
• AACSB-accredited school graduates are offered better, more competitive salaries.
• Students at AACSB-accredited schools have more employers that are interested in them after graduation.

Companies also have studied the differences between employees who have attended AACSB-accredited business schools and those who have not. For instance, one company found that employees who were educated by non-AACSB-accredited business schools had lower levels of performance. Because of this, the organization now only reimburses tuition from AACSB-accredited business schools.
