- Abstract
Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination (UCPAE) pass rates were examined at AACSB, ACBSP, and IACBE accredited institutions, and at institutions without separate business school accreditation. AACSB accredited institutions clearly outperformed their counterparts with ACBSP or IACBE accreditation, as well as schools with no additional business school accreditation. Extending this research stream, we found that Christian institutions achieved UCPAE pass rate results similar to those of AACSB accredited institutions. We also found that for-profit institutions significantly underperformed all groups analyzed in this study.
