So I think I am going to get a Masters of Science in Accounting to qualify for the new educational requirements in California

So my options are to get accepted to Golden Gate University which is WASC certified and get enrolled as soon as January and pay $27,000. Or to wait until July, study for the GMAT, and hopefully get accepted to Cal State East Bay or Sacramento for schools accredited by AACSB and range between $22,000 and $25,000.

Keep in mind I am unemployed and it looks like I can get out sooner at Golden Gate University and the excess money from earlier employment might make up much of the difference in the excess costs of the programs. I will also be living in the Bay Area and it appears that local firms recruit from GGU.

So my ultimate question is how important is AACSB accreditation?

I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:

"Do 5000 multiple choice questions for each section"

It's been awhile, but now that I see @jaredo155 mention it, I think AACSB is what I looked for.

Both Harvard and Stanford are listed here (and thankfully, so is my school, Northeastern; I got worried for a moment):

CPA (MA, Non-Reporting)

The difference in winning & losing is most often, not quitting - Walt Disney

B - 33, 71, 79!
A - 32, 61, 70, 83!
R - 33, 58, 73, 69, 81!
F - 47, 78! 🙂
After 3 long years, I'm finally DONE!
I could not have done it without NINJA MCQs.

No beaches and no forest in Sacramento. I am currently not looking for work. I am fortunate enough to have the savings to take time off to get these tests done. However this luxury won't last for ever and I need to get a job in six months or so.
