Most people don't know anything about things like this, which is why diploma mills exist and thrive.

Yep. I didn't go to an AACSB accredited MBA program by accident. I went to a state university with that accreditation specifically because AACSB is the gold standard for business schools, since less than 5% of the business schools in the world have it.

Alright, you guys have convinced me. I took it off. What about GPA? 3.5 grad school (MBA), 3.3 undergrad (BSBA).

Leave them off. No one cares about your undergrad GPA, and you are expected to complete grad school with a high GPA.

Let me give you another option. Put it in your cover letter.

"I have a _______ degree in _________ from the AACSB-accredited program at Panhandle State University."

Adding something like the accreditation (which will be provided by our background checking company anyway) indicates useless dribble fluff. I would be wondering why include it, whats the angle? An unnecessary distraction - toss that resume.

I'd put that right after my degree on my resume, on the same line.
