Hey everyone, i am just about to complete my Associate Degree in University of Phoenix. I am looking for a new school to complete my Bachelors, preferably someone who is AACSB. I have found Washington State University to be a good choice and looking for a second choice Thanks for the help
You should do a search on AACSB, but. . . Cal State Dominguez Hills, Jacksonville State University and a few others will fill the bill.
You posted your question twice: see this thread for answers. http://www.degreeinfo.com/showthread.php?t=31821
For the record, Cal State Dominguez Hills is not accredited by AACSB. It is accredited by the ACBSP, which is an entirely different organization. Pug
In follow up, can I ask why AACSB is important to you at the BA level? There are FAR more non-AASCB choices online, particularly online, and they are generally FAR less expensive. In my humble opinion, AACSB is quite important if you are planning to teach, but you will need at least a graduate degree for that anyway. Otherwise, I have yet to see the added utility of an AACSB accredited degree, especially at the undergraduate level. BEFORE THE AACSB ADVOCATES ATTACK ME...I am not knocking the AACSB in any way. I simply don't see the added utility at the BA level. Pug
Thanks. My bad. My memory was off. I seem to remember several of the Cal State campuses being AACSB. I'll have to go look soon and refresh my memory as to what's what. I know of the ACBSP, though. There's also that other business program accreditor that starts with an I, but it eludes me at the moment. [/QUOTE]In follow up, can I ask why AACSB is important to you at the BA level?

Other than that, I'll agree, not much at the bachelor level.
Most of the Cal State and UC business schools are AACSB accredited but CSUDH is not. http://www.aacsb.edu/General/InstLists.asp?lid=2
First I just want to thank everyone for the input, I now realize I posted the same thing twice. Just wanted to know any other names of schools? Tuition costs are not too much of a worry but a good degree from a reputable place is. However some places, like U Florida, do not work for me as I dont plan to go to FL to take the tests. Any more option are always welcome!
Just get a Bachelors degree with the lowest cost, then spend the $$ in a Masters. (BS Must be RA) Unless you are less than 21 years old. (Don’t waste time or money) - Phoenix in fine trust me. Then get a position with an employer that provides $$ assistance for that gold star MASTERS degree you will be working on..... Good luck, VP of HR
Hey thanks for the tip about WY. I checked them out but they seem to have a lot of pre requisits before applying. One great thing I see about WSU is they dont require that you have taken specific courses already. Other however do so. Again thanks for the hel and more ocmments are always welcome
Try Thomas Edision State College You can fast track the BS/BA process with little $$$$ if you work the process to the max. Bet you could have it in 12 months
While I could go thomas edison college I am looking for something with a bit of a better international reputation. Thanks!
Then how about this one from Penn State: http://www.worldcampus.psu.edu/BachelorinBusiness.shtml or this AACSB accredited BBA from Illinois http://www.online.uillinois.edu/catalog/ProgramDetail.asp?ProgramID=721 or http://exedweb.cc.uic.edu/uiconline/description.asp?clg=Program&colid=GF&ProgramID=81&Semester=
Just looking at the degree from Ullinios. Just wonder I see that you need 60 transferable credits. I will have completed my Associate Degree, what happens if they dont take all the credits?
In that case (which could be true for any US RA university or college) you would be required to take additional courses from them. Or you could make up the difference perhaps by taking and passing CLEP and/or DSST tests.
