The new AACSB accreditation standards: a prospect of tiering?

Abstract

An investigation of the attitudes of deans of accredited and non‐accredited schools found that their attitudes differed with respect to Cheit’s (1985) two dimensions: “academic” and “professional”. This difference was related to the three tiers of accredited schools implied by the new AACSB accreditation standards. Discusses implications.
