Is there a way to get a list of current AACSB accreditation applicants and their stages? Will AACSB give that information?
I've never seen candidates for accreditation listed at the AACSB website. On the other hand, AACSB apparently does not forbid candidate schools from talking about it, given that Azusa Pacific University currently claims to be a candidate for AACSB accreditation. So it may be public info. You could try asking AACSB.
At one point FHSU was talking about it as well, but I am too lazy to look up if they're still doing it or what their status is.
Even if they aren't, Liverpool's "Football Industries MBA" program still seems compelling, with modules like: International Football Industry Becoming A Football Executive Football and The Law Football and Finance I think they might actually be talking about soccer though.
