HBCU Business Schools: 2013 Accredited Programs

Last Updated on May 31, 2023

Choosing an accredited school is one of the most important academic choices a student can make in today's competitive job market. Not only do graduates of accredited colleges consistently find better employment, but they enjoy an education which has been certified as the best of the best. Obtaining a degree from a non-accredited school is essentially career sabotage. Many employers refuse to even acknowledge a non-accredited degree, and the vast majority will pass up a candidate possessing a non-accredited degree in favor of an accredited, certified and recognized education.

Do yourself a favor and start your career on the right foot by choosing an accredited college. There are many business HBCUs which have been certified by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the most respected accreditation organization of its kind.
