AACSB Accreditation
AACSB accreditation is generally considered the "best" or highest form of accreditation for business programs.
The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) has been around since 1916.
The AACSB accredits business schools and programs all over the world.
Although the AACSB consistenly get high marks, is an MBA from an AACSB accredited institution really better than an MBA from a non-AACSB accredited one?
Try posing this question to someone at Harvard University versus someone at the University of Phoenix. No doubt, you would likely see opposing viewpoints.
In a similar vein, try posing this question to a business professor versus a business owner. Again, you will likely see differing opinions. It all boils down to what your point of view is and what “better” means.
On the plus side, AASCB accreditation is arguably the most recognized and sought after business school accreditation around. Business schools such as Harvard, Stanford, and other well-known schools hold this accreditation. Having this accreditation puts a business school of any size in good company.
By the same token, receiving a degree from a school that is AASCB accredited is very favorable in the academic environment. For example, there is an increased acceptance of credits and degrees between AACSB accredited schools. This is good for undergraduates looking to graduate school or MBA graduates looking for a Doctorate degree.
On the other hand, AACSB accreditation has more weight in the academic world than in the business world. Has the average employer ever heard of AACSB? Most employers don’t really understand accreditation at all. In this sense, the AACSB accreditation does not make for a more marketable degree.
Let’s say you received an MBA from a local state university which is AACSB accredited. Are you more marketable than a person with an MBA from the University of Phoenix, which carries no business accreditations at all? No…not just because of the accreditation. Many businesses are employing people with all kinds of MBAs and they do not pay attention to the accreditation.
AACSB accreditation is not required for marketability in the business world. However, it certainly does not hurt to have it. It is definitely a good thing to have the same business school accreditation as the likes of Harvard University.
The true value of the AACSB accreditation is the higher level of quality that it promotes. Accreditation through the AACSB is rigorous and intensive. The sheer fact that the accreditation is received shows a commitment to quality. This can only be good for both the business school and the student.

I want to see this place closed, like anybody who pays taxes.
@098--why don't YOU post your real name, shithead? You're a phoney moron.
@089--some of us want to see the school change while others want to see this place closed. Why do you care about our motivation? You sound like one of those mindless automatons that executives love to use. Shilling for a unethical business is like being a sidekick stool pigeon to a schoolyard bully. Bravo, you deserve the Worst Person of the Week award. If you don't like to read lurid details of management sleaze, stay off this board. Some of us still work for this school and are determined to change it, or bring it down trying.

You know what's really sad? You all hide behind fake names and run your mouths. If your not ashamed of who you are the post your true identities. I came on here to see what people are talking about. Some of you could actually be intellegent. However, truth be told you spend all your time on this site belittling anything and everyone. Why do you care, just curious? Think about how much time is wasted in negative energy, you must be really sad people. Walk away and enjoy your life, whatever happens will happen. Because University of Phoenix is not losing sleep over you. Just saying..
@738 you need to see a doctor for those two cancre/herpes lesions. You must f*** some nasty street hos or goats.
@486 - I got two humps you can lick. They're right under my d1ck!!
Sorry, I didn't mean to start such a hate filled post. Camden, shut this hell hole down.
@477--you must be retarded. I would imagine your IQ is below 60. You are a perfect candidate to be a Feenix. Shut the f*** up, asswipe. Jesus, it's morons like YOU who are stoolies for the manipulative executives in this diploma mill.
UOP does not accept everyone. They don't accept those who fall out of the admissions requirement parameters. You all are dumm muthafukass!!
@310--UOP accepts everyone, even dipshits like you.
310 Dare ain't no comparison. STFU!
@082 - if you have $150k to spend at any of those institutions you listed except UOP then go there. I bet no one would accept you and you're probably scum when it comes to your bank account based on their rates. Ohh, but their not for profit.
@044--your poor spelling should be the least of your worries, dunderhead. You compose sentences like an 11 year-old or a Feelix graduate. It must suck still having to ride the short bus, first to elementary school, and now into adulthood. I'm sure you'll make a fine evening assistant at a local Circle K. Now go get another donut, Fatty.

Should I go to Stanford, Harvard, U Penn, U Chicago, MIT or ....... U of Phoenix Online? Which school would give me the best education and boost my career?
@missy meme - wooopti f***en woo! I made a grammatical error as I type from my smartphone. Point is, "you're" still fugly and there's not much you can do in that department to get you a job that requires human interaction. Maybe you should continue your blogging career.
First and foremost, U. Phoenix is NOT an AACSB accredited school. It is commonly understood in the business industry that AACSB accreditation is one of the world’s most selective and rigorous types of evaluation for business schools. The AACSB has been providing accreditation to a select number of business schools since 1919, and the founding members of the organization include some of the most reputable colleges and universities in the United States. According to Businessweek.com, about 12,000 schools worldwide provide business degrees, but “fewer than 10 percent are accredited by AACSB or one of the other top accreditation agencies.” With millions of people sporting MBA on their resume, the top companies look for AACSB MBA's
@622--you're embarrassing yourself in your appalling English composition. I would suggest you enroll in a local community college English course, Goony. You'll have a tough time finding a respectable job after UOP shit cans you in the weeks to come. Thanks for entertaining us, Feelix Grad.
@239 - you probably suck as a person and your probably not very attractive so that can be a major problem. You probably also dress like a goon.
@a site...Your poor writing skills betray your phony for-profit diploma, Loser. I've never worked for this shit hole; I just want to see ALL of these scam schools shuttered as they prey on naive imbeciles( people like you) and the American taxpayer. Don your red socks and shill for a fake university--that'll show everyone. You don't know what you don't know--it's not your fault that you were raised by a single mom in a trailer. People laugh at you and your fellow "bird brain" graduates. Snigger Snigger.
It's sad to see that you bums have nothing better to do then cry, complain and talk shit on a web site. A degree is a degree you morons. Maybe if you weren't so lazy you would send enough resumes to get a response. But of course you expect someone to hand you a job and so instead you are stuck, in a rut and take out your frustration on this school because they fired your worthless ass.
I took a few classes and quit.

Didn't you do any due diligence before enrolling at these pretend schools? Of course quality employers don't recognize pretend degrees from pretend schools like UoP or ITT Tech. Why didn't you go to a real school to begin with? All the information has been widely available for many years. If you had done your due diligence, you wouldn't have these problems now.
239- I went to ITT Tech and I'm in the same boat. Massive loans and nobody recognizes the degree even with work experience and additional credentials. People don't realize most of this debt simply will never be repaid directly because these schools are not leading to jobs or higher income. If you look at the school performance results across the board nobody is getting jobs with the degrees, not just you or me.
Tell that to the quislings that defend this school.
I completed an MBA and can't get a job, no one recognizes my degree from this lovely institution. I have over ten years of professional experience so what is the problem. I had a professional look over my resume, my interview skills are on point, the only conclusion is no one recognizes my degree. How can I pay off these student loans?
