Accreditation of Business School: How Much Important? [#permalink]
 21 Feb 2011, 10:13
I am looking for pursuing an MBA in a renowned/prestigious B-school. I understand, one needs to analyze so many variables when selecting/choosing a B-school that matches the person's ambition and personality.
But, while choosing a good B-school, I am also concerned about its ACCREDITATION by AACSB, EQUIS, or AMBA. Am I doing something really silly? Because some of my fellow friends say that, as long as a school is a match for you and is ranked in a widely-accepted B-School ranking, you never have to bother about accreditation. They mostly cite one name Schulich:York along with (sometimes) Melbourne BS.
My point is here, if accreditation doesn't play that much role in selecting a B-school, then why it is for?

I think accreditation comes to a point where as long as the school is accreditted by a major organization, you'll be fine when it comes to searching for job. Once the school gets that accreditation, you shouldn't have to worry about it. For example, if I have enough fund at this moment I can open up a Bakfed School of Business, but it won't be accredited. Thus, at this point, all applicants should be a bit weary about applying to this school due to a lack of accreditation and a major "what-the-f" is this Bakfed School of business mentality. Anyway, any major b-schools in the states will be fully accredited and you would not have to worry about it at all.

How would you describe the issue of Schulich:York (though it's not US school)? It's not accredited by any of the three giant accrediting networks/organizations. Yet, it's highly advertised as a GLOBAL B-School. And, most importantly, the name can be found in any B-School ranking.

I can't say that I know much about Canadian b-schools, but as far as I know, Schulich is a great brand with an international recognition. I wouldn't worry about it not being accreditted by the major organizations, as I'm sure it's accreditted somehow in the society.
