Abstract: AACSB accreditation status is often seen as an indicator of program quality. This study uses accounting programs to examine the factors which may be determinants of AACSB accreditation. An accounting faculty's publication rate and size and the mean ACT scores of a school's students were associated with accreditation while low student/faculty ratios, tuition rates, and faculty salary levels were not. Differences between the determinants of accounting and of overall business accreditation are discussed.

Keywords: AACSB accreditation; program quality; accounting faculty; student/faculty ratio; business accreditation.
