    The correct link is http://www.huizenga.nova.edu/admission/masters.cfm

    Many schools have either written policy and procedures for considering applicants from non-regionally accredited schools or are willing to make exceptions to standard admission policies on a case-by-case basis. In and of itself, and contrary what some would have you believe, it means nothing.

    In actuality, it reminds me of the radio commercials for automobile dealerships that emphatically state, “Hurry in; this weekend, ALL applications will be accepted!”

    Compiling a list of schools with such admission policies, however, is irrelevant, as actual admissions in most schools are competitive. A better gauge of how often this actually takes place is to search for and note how many individuals list a non-regionally accredited undergraduate degree and a graduate degree from a regionally accredited school.

    It says "not regionally accredited." It does not say "nonaccredited."

    I believe Nova would consider nationally accredited degrees.

    The true answer to your question unfotunately costs $50.00. R/A schools sometimes accept unaccredited degrees with conditions. A good resume and test scores may help.

    I would think all schools would consider an applicant with an unaccredited degree if that applicant were outstanding in other respects.

    Mother Teresa could probably get accepted into any PhD program and I don't recall that she had an undergraduate degree. Even after her death most Catholic Colleges would admit her. :D

    So an undergraduate degree from Hamburger U may well land you a place in RA U's MBA program - probably with restrictions for your first semester to 6 hours and a B average to continue- but as long as it is a degree that required some verifiable work, and not from a mill, you would probably be admitted.

    (I think that is the longest sentence I have ever composed.)
