In this case, I believe, University of glasgow is just a member of AACSB but not officially certified. So I guess the school is not actually accredited.

Hey Sally,

The Uni states its a 'member' of EFMD. I am not sure if being a member is same as being accredited. i guess its not.
A few colleges stating they are a member of AACSB are not listed at the AACSB website under their list of accredited colleges.
Glasgow in this case would otherwise display the EQUIS logo on its b-school homepage but it doesnt.

Hey,

FYI, Wikipedia is not always right. Anybody can write anything on that website. In fact, I couldn't give any wikipedia citation in my college research papers.

hmm well, glasgow is not on the list of 34 triple accredited listed on that wiki page.. so (since wikipedia is always right!) i guess they don't have the equis accrediation. I have no idea what "emfd member" means...

and, as i'm sure you all noticed, their web site is down so there's no way to find out anything more right now!

Basically.. I say, if you're American and thinking of working in the US after graduation, lean toward the AACSB accredited one. If you're European, maybe go toward the Equis accredited one. However, I think two accreditations is plenty, and you'll get a solid education at either one.. so I'd make your decision on other more important factors, like whose program you think is the best fit for you :P

i got my undergraduate degree at a university that was well known but unaccredited in my field and I was successful at getting a great job before i even graduated, even though my area is really competitive. It's all about networking... accreditation really doesn't matter in the long run...

Glasgow DOES have AACSB accreditation. It does not have Equis.

Also, when I said "wikipedia is always right" I was obviously being sarcastic (in other words, I purposefully said the opposite of what I meant.) We all know that Wikipedia is not always accurate. But, in this case, it appears it is.

Oh all right! I thought you really meant it hehe.
