Where To Start
Our Accreditations and Approvals
“Accreditation is meant to protect students, schools, and employers. It ensures that a school is teaching its students at a nationally acceptable level. When a student receives a diploma from a school accredited by the right agency, he can be assured that it will be accepted by all employers.”
--About.com, Accreditation Basics
"Don't let the name mislead you - regional accreditation is the highest level of accreditation an online or brick-and-mortar institution can obtain, and is recognized throughout the country. Regional associations accredit mainly nonprofit, degree-granting institutions in specific geographic areas (Middle States, New England, North Central, Northwest, Southern, or Western)."
