Thumbs up AACSB the de facto standard

I want to go for my MBA but have to decide on which schools to consider. Is AACSB (http://www.aacsb.edu) the premium accrediting agency to gauge MBA programs? And what if I choose a concentration and discover down the line that I should have chosen another? I'm guessing they aren't too far off that I would have to get another MBA. Also, I'll probably move to Central Europe in the future and I'm hoping the MBA earned in the USA will be relevant in other countries.

I'm considering these 2 AACSB accredited schools since they are close to where I work and live.

Any other relevant advice regarding MBAs would be appreciated. TIA.

The AACSB is, of course, the official business school accreditation organization. So any business school with such accreditation will be ranked higher (generally speaking) than those without.

The accreditation agency has nothing to do with switching your concentration. That matter would soley rest on the school's programs.

I would assume an MBA gained in the US would be just as useful as earning abroad (in most cases).
