I appreciate that publishing their data is a big threat to their work. Good choice to withdraw from CHEA.

Does this mean that AACSB is now less reliable than the other MBA accreditations?

No.

This means what it reads, IMO. They are no longer recognised by CHEA. CHEA is the official body in the US from which higher education accrediting institutions seek recognition.

A late reply. All the US schools accredited by AASCB are also regional accredited or nationally accredited, so no US schools are getting AASCB accreditation to tick off the CHEA box. However, AASCB is still a higher level of accrediation.

Many of the world’s top business schools have only one accreditation. So, why would a school seek many more? Should prospective MBAs factor accreditation into their decision of where to apply?
