AACSB-Accredited Online MBA

Among academics and corporate head-hunters, the AACSB is considered the gold standard of business school accreditation. Only about 30 percent of business schools in the USA carry AACSB accreditation.

AACSB International accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in management education. Programs receiving AACSB International accreditation have superior faculty, high-caliber teaching, and meaningful interaction between students and faculty.

The AACSB is the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International. It is a voluntary, non-governmental accrediting agency that oversees the standardization of collegiate schools of business and accounting nationwide. The requirements for AACSB Accreditation are very stringent.

AACSB accredited B-Schools are more sought after than any other MBA Programs but at the same time they are more costly. You also need high GMAT scores and GPA. If business program is not accredited by the AACSB, the oldest and most well-known accrediting organization, then you should look for regional accreditation. This means that the organization examining the program is approved by the U.S. government.

Many venerable Ivy League business schools are accredited by the AACSB. Stanford University, Yale University and Duke University, for example, all operate AACSB accredited business schools. (Of these, Duke University offers a distance-learning, low-residency MBA.)
