I was looking at DBA program of International school of Management and Swiss Management Center. Both are accredited by ACBSP, and the former costs EUR 60,000, while the latter costs EUR 10,000. What's the deal here?
From ISM's website ISM Overview - Accreditation - ISM - International School of Management | Accredited & Accredited MBA, DBA PhD | Paris, New York, Tokyo, Shanghai "ISM, a US State Accredited University, is also proud to be accredited by ACBSP, the first business accreditation agency in the U.S.A. to be recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation." Which state are they accredited from? Are they Nationally or regionally accredited? I would not pay EUR 60,000 for a state accredited school when you can get a triple Accredited DL DBA from Aston, Granobel or Manchester for about the same price. Swiss Management Center is accreditation is very confusing. SMC University Accreditation and Recognition Compliance with the Bologna Declaration Recognizing the importance of the European and International dimensions in education, SMC underwent the process of adapting to the criteria of the Bologna Declaration, which regulates the standards and transferability of credits and degrees in Europe. SMC fully complies with the criteria set forth in this international convention.
