What's the difference between Regionally accredited and Nationally accredited schools?
Q. I'm currently going to college on-line and when I started the counselor told me that the college was regionally accredited. I asked what that really means and if I could get a job out of state if I wanted and he said yes. But is that true? I need to know the difference between regionally and nationally accredited school? So if anyone can help, thanks. I'm afraid that I have wasted my time and not including money.

A. I work at a college, accredited by SACS, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. On their FAQ page at it has the question of what is the difference between regional & national accreditation, and here is their answer: -- What is the difference between regional, national and specialized accreditation? Regional accrediting bodies conduct comprehensive reviews of institutions of higher education and operate primarily in a specific geographical area. The accreditation granted encompasses the entire institution including reported branch campuses, other instructional sites, and distance learning modalities. Regional accrediting bodies typically accredit a wide range of institutions offering associate, baccalaureate, master s and/o [cont.]

A. Most colleges do not require an accredited high school diploma. Instead they ask for a transcript and the SAT or ACT. There are programs that home schools can purchase to create transcipts that are accurate and look professional. I really like Homeschool Easy Records from dataplus. The diploma is actually the icing on the cake. Something the parent can present to their student to frame, look at and show off. Some creative parents purchase nice parchment and create their own. HSLDA sells a professional diploma complete with padded cover and embossed seal. You can also get a graduation tassel and even a cap and gown and go all out...to get your student;s portrait taken!

A. There are tons of online programs. I personally attended American Intercontinental Univ. and Capella University, and have taught for various online schools including the University of Phoenix. All are accredited and solid programs. Online courses tend to vary in price, so we could say they are more expensive, but that is relative. Of course they are more expensive than a community college, but less expensive than Harvard. The price range varies. The key is to find a program that is fully accredited. Is it worth it? YES.

A. I agree with eri, one of the other responders to the Y!A question, on whether one would be permitted to teach in a public or private elementary or high school with an online high school diploma. The short answer is NO. But, your question leads to other questions about where you may be allowed to teach outside of the public or private schools. If you submitted a nationally recognized high school diploma to a daycare center in the U.S., you probably can become a daycare teacher where you would serving a daycare center. Furthermore, you may be able to teach with a curriculum specially designed for babies and children , ages six months to 5 or 6 years old.

A. Only two accredited universities in the US have programs for the study of parapsychology: the University of Virginia's Dept of Psychiatric Medicine and the University of Arizona's Veritas Laboratory. Pretty much every other program in the US closed down years ago for lack of funding, especially since the subject doesn't hold much credence in the serious academic world. The only accredited psychobiology programs in the US are at Ripon College, Arcadia University, Quinnipiac University, University of New England, Wheaton College, Lebanon Valley College, and Earlham College. However, if you want a job with realistic financial security after college, stick with mainstream psychology; you can always study parapsychology as a hobby.

A. It could mean that your degree will not be recognized as being valid if the school is not accredited. Presumably your community college will be taking the steps to gain national accreditation. You might ask what their timetable is for achieving accreditation. Accreditation means that the school meets certain national standards of excellence in its program and teaching.

A. I may be wrong but I do not think there is any such thing. The famous "press pass" isn't something a reporter carries like a police badge. It is issued by a specific organization, in order to grant specific rights or levels of access to a reporter. Usually reporters, or the organizations they work for, apply for "press passes" from the "news maker". So, for intance... If you got a job working for the New York Times covering the White House, the New York Times would apply to the White House for a White House press pass. The White House would review the application and if everything is in order, and they kind of like you, they will issue you a press pass that will allow you to gain access to places and events where the press is allowed… [cont.]

Should I major in computer engineering if the program is not accredited? How important is accreditation?
Q. The university that I currently attend offers Electrical and Computer Engineering and the programs are very similar except for a few different courses. I am in my sophomore year and I changed my major from computer science to EE. I was thinking I would Major in EE and minor in CS, but my advisor feels I should just major in Comp Engineering since I already have a little knowledge. However, the CE program is relatively new so it's not accredited as of yet. I really changed my major because I didn't want to limit myself to computers. But my advisor says the same jobs an EE can get a CE can get. How true is this? And what should I do major in Electrical Eng and Minor in Computer Science or should I just major in Comp. Eng.

A. If you want to go to some really high rated grad school it is important. As long as your school has ABET accredited engineering programs, the individual department accreditation is not that important. The most important thing is passing the PE when your done. But major in EE because its in demand. With EE you can still be a computer engineer anyway.
