Dear jtk321:
To be honest, I have never heard of Gardner-Webb University. It could be a decent program but only has a regional reputation. AACSB is the gold standard and difficult to achieve. It requires schools to meet a minimum standard on both teaching and research with an emphasis on curriculum. Consequently, these programs are viewed as being "better" than business programs without AACSB accreditation. My understanding is that ACBSP does not have the research requirement and thus it is easier for a school to receive.
It appears Gardner-Webb only has an undergraduate program, so I'm not sure what you are asking in terms of your post. If you believe Gardner-Webb meets what you are looking for in terms of curriculum and career opportunities for your bachelor's degree, than it might be a good option for you.
Regards,
Lisa
