Does it matter to employers what college i get an Accounting degree from?
An ACBSP university versus a AACSB accreditted university, does it make a difference? Or does it not matter as long as the university is regionally accreditted?
Here are the lists of schools’ business programs accredited by each organization:

Yes, my school is on the ACBSP program, thank you. But my question is: does it matter to employers whether or not its ACBSP or AACSB as long as the university ia regionally accreditted?
It does look like the business schools with the best reputations (e.g. Harvard, Penn, Chicago, MIT, Northwestern, Stanford) prefer AACSB accreditation. The ACBSP list seems to be mainly schools with no particular reputation at all, with some schools that have what is probably a negative reputation.
One good thing that I have seen is that job posts for the accounting field never say you must have a degree from an AACSB university, unless it is for instructor/professor positions
Pretty much all of the best business schools in the world are AACSB accredited. If it did not manage to get the main accreditation, I would be suspicious of why.
