AACSB International Accreditation and the Earnings of College Graduates
Hutchins, Teresa; Olbrecht, Alexandre
American Journal of Business Education, v2 n1 p117-124 2009
In this paper, data from the Baccalaureate & Beyond 93/97/03 survey is used to examine the link between college graduate earnings and the number of years a school has been accredited by AACSB International. We find that there is no monetary benefit to attending an institution of higher learning which has been accredited longer, which suggests that AACSB International applies its accrediting and re-accrediting standards in a consistent manner.
