I'm looking for a distance learning program, on-line or correspondence which offers courses for undergraduate continuing education students which is AASCSB accredited. Central Michigan U. and Indiania U. have courses with the right titles. But I couldn't find in their websites a reference to AASCSB on the website. A co-worker is one required course short of his BS. He had to move from the area of his school to take a job. He has permission of his college to take the last class from another school which is AASCSB and transfer it to his college of origin. He is to submit the course description for comparison and prior approval He has considered the option of trying to take the course as an independent study at his college origin. but he doesn't think that would work. He would like to have all the required course titles on his transcript. Any suggestions? Thanks!
What is the title of the course that he needs? AACSB (just one "S") has a list of accredited schools on it's site. I don't think that I've seen a list of AACSB accredited schools offering undergraduate courses through DL, but with some work you may be able to find the course somewhere. I've seen quite a few graduate programs offering undergrad background courses, so you might be able to find one that way. You can find a list of MBA programs at Jonnie's Distance Learning Page .
That's just a list of schools offering an MBA through DL; there are probably a lot more that offer undergrad degrees or just offer selected courses. What's the title of the course that he needs?
With respect to Central Michigan - and perhaps other schools - beware. Their MBA program offered by their business school on campus in Mount Pleasant is AACSB accredited. Their MSA (Master of Science in Administration) offered all over the planet is offered by a different academic unit within CMU and is not AACSB accredited. This is a common situation that some business school accreditors are starting to look at. For example, ACBSP has a new stance that says that all degree programs with the title "Management" or "Business" in them must be accredited - or no programs are accredited - for a given institution.

A quick look at Distance Learning Business Degrees shows eight AACSB accredited schools offering undergraduate degrees via distance learning. I suspect the number of AACSB accredited schools offering courses, but not complete degrees, must therefore be even greater.
