SF Bay Area and LA Pelicans - pls tell me about Golden Gate University

What can you tell me about this school that I will not find on its website?

I'm going back to school for a MBA. I take the GMAT on December 11 and at that time, I must decide where I'd like the test scores sent. I am leaning towards UC Davis, SF State, SJ State and maybe, GGU or Sac State. The closest school to me is UC Berkeley but the cost of the program is astronomical and very selective. I can get to the other schools in an hour or so, depending on traffic. That commute time is no big deal to me but I'd prefer to stay closer to home in my off time.

Golden Gate Univ has a branch about 15 miles from me. The program is very convenient as it's geared towards working professionals. My concern is, it doesn't have an AACSB accreditation, just WASC. I don't really care either way but I'd like to know what employers think about it. My employer is based out of Orange County but the main HR person came from back east so she doesn't know much about GGU.

Anyone here in HR? How about academia? What do you know about GGU? Do you know anyone from your place of work who went to there? Do you know what your employer thinks of non-AACSB accredited schools? TIA.
