Is business school accredation (AACSB) crucial when considering to get an online Master in Accouting degree?

Question by 2curious: Is business school accredation (AACSB) crucial when considering to get an online Master in Accouting degree?
I am considering to obtain a Masters in Accounting degree from an online university.I am concerned about business school accredation (AACSB). Some online schools I have considered are only regionally accredited and I am afraid this may deter future employers from hiring me upon completion. Please help.

Answer by Chris
AACSB is not vital. Many good universities have one of the other business accreditation. The scary part is the “online universities”. Are you talking University of Phoenix and the like? Employers will definitely look down on these degrees. Many employers will throw your resume away for listing them. If you need an online degree, look to the state universities. Your diploma will not shout “online” or “for-profit”.
