Don't drink the kool-aid bro, this is what they tell you as information. UOP lacks AACSB accrediation so no recognition of your MBA. And while they may have the "same" accreditation don't expect any real school to accept transfer credits. I had the same issue going from OSU to UAkron... the OSU course didn't meet the requirement for UA.... AND i know it goes the other way, and for more. The difference is, ANY college in the US and a lot abroad will accept my bachelor's towards a masters or doctorate. It's not the same way for UoP, I've asked admissions counselors at UA and OSU (i wanted to do part of a JD at UoP until both schools said no courses would count and an MBA from UoP wouldn't transfer) Also, don't tell a hiring manager, if i was going outside of Ohio I'd get less attention for a UAkron degree over an OSU degree... try telling anyone you have a UoP degree, they don't care about what accreditations the university may have, you'll get less attention than a local community college.
