A word about accreditation...On this website I make a distinction between schools that are "nationally" accredited and those that are "regionally" accredited in order to make students aware of the potential, however small or large, for difficulty in transferring their credits between the two types of accredited schools. I pass no judgment on the quality of the education delivered by any institution. However, the following comment is presented for the benefit of potential students: "Accreditation does not provide automatic acceptance by an institution of credit earned at another institution, nor does it give assurance of acceptance of graduates by employers. Acceptance of students or graduates is always the prerogative of the receiving institution or employer. For these reasons, besides ascertaining the accredited status of a school or program, students should take additional measures to determine, prior to enrollment, whether or not their educational goals will be met through attendance at a particular institution. These measures should include inquiries to institutions to which transfer might be desired or to prospective employers and, if possible, personal inspection of the institution at which enrollment is contemplated." As stated on the US Department of Education's (DoE) website. For additional information concerning this topic, I recommend visiting the DoE's website at the following address: http://www.ed.gov/admins/finaid/accred/index.html
