Fair enough; I don't doubt you.

For what it's worth, I've long thought that the conventional wisdom on these forums overrates the importance of ACBSP accreditation. One can make a case that a program with AACSB accreditation is worth a premium because it opens more doors for doctoral study and for teaching at business schools. But I've yet to see a reason why someone should pay even one dollar more for a program with ACBSP accreditation over one without it.

Agreed. Employers don't care either way, but AACSB-accredited schools sure do. They often put extra requirements on applicants coming from non-AACSB schools, for example, and often won't hire professors with degrees from non-AACSB schools. I doubt seriously that any ACBSP-accredited schools have similar practices.

Almost every top MBA program in the U.S. has AACSB accreditation. The correlation is tight.
