I have never seen this as a requirement for academic jobs. Most business related academic jobs require a PhD from an AACSB accredited school. ACBSP seems to be concentrated in community and technical colleges as I did not see many research universities that were accredited by this organization, so I really don't think it is of much use for academics looking to work at the University level.

Not one is a community college nor a technical school. They appear to value ACBSP.

I think it would be safe to assume that the above schools would give preference to candidates graduating from an ACBSP school over those that have RA only.

Otherwise, why would they have gone through the ACBSP accredidation process?

Just my opinion

None of them ask for graduates of ACBSP accredited schools. The assumption than ACBSP accreditation might be helpful is good but again not a requirement. The sample selected is only a small representation of the schools accredited by ACBSP, if you look at the accredited schools by the ACBSP, you will find that the vast majority is composed by community colleges and technical schools.

Yes, ACBSP accreditation is better than no accreditation. However, it is of little value for those looking to become academics.

Really?

An examination of Region 3 of the ACBSP (I live in Florida) found the following:

39 Accredited technical\community college associate degree schools

36 accredited bacc/grad accredited schools

1 school listed as both

Hardly a "vast majority"

Bacc/grad accredited schools:

Alabama State University
Albany State University
Athens State University
Bauder College
Claflin University
Cumberland University
Delta State University
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
Fisk University
Florida Memorial University
Freed-Hardeman University
Gardner-Webb University
High Point University
Johnson C. Smith University
Kentucky State University
LaGrange College
Lambuth University
Lenoir-Rhyne College
Lipscomb University
Methodist College
Mississippi College
Mississippi University for Women
Mississippi Valley State University
Morris College
North Georgia College and State University
Oakwood College
Paine College
Queens University of Charlotte
Southern Polytechnic State University
Spring Hill College
The University of West Alabama
Troy University Dothan
Troy University Montgomery
Troy University Sorrell
University of Mobile
University of North Alabama
Voorhees College
Wingate University

If ACBSP is of so little value why did the above pursue it?

The majority of AACSB schools seeking full-time faculty at the Chronicle do not list AACSB accredited as required either. But it sure helps!

Anyway, many schools seem to think it is important and the doctoral students at NCU appear pleased.
