The FAU Business School is fully
accredited by the AACSB. AACSB accreditation assures
certain important benefits.
Quality of the student body. Probably the single
most important thing to consider in selecting an online
masters degree program in accounting is the quality of
the student body. Some programs may be willing to accept
almost anyone, regardless of the applicant's
undergraduate credentials. This is a very important
issue to you, since all top programs tend to be
case-oriented, which means that you'll spend a couple of
years of your valuable time in groups discussing cases,
so you want to make sure you are in with the right
people. AACSB accredited business schools are audited for the
quality of their student body. This helps assure you
that you are in with the right people.
The FAU executive online masters degree degrees in
accounting are especially designed for those with not
only quality academic credentials but also for working
professionals. So the courses are typically populated
with high-quality students with professional knowledge
and skills to share with you in the class discussions.
In the executive programs you are never mixed to the
regular students.
AACSB business-school accreditation helps assure you that the
faculty are "terminally qualified." The accounting and
taxation courses in the FAU executive programs are
typically staffed by faculty with doctorate degrees.
Most faculty also bring with them rich backgrounds in
research, publishing, or industry. The adjunct faculty
in the FAU accounting executive programs are typically
paid about 3-5 times as much as their counterparts in
conventional programs.
The Florida Atlantic University School of
Accounting ranked in the top 10 in the United States for its

need to worry about being branded with an "online degree."
