    - Nationally accredited through ACICS
    - Seems a bit pricey

    That is all I have at the moment.

    Nationally accredited through ACICS?

    Thanks. But are their credits transferable to a regionally accredited school?

    That is going to be up to the school that the student tries to transfer them to.

    Ok, thanks. Most colleges and universities that I am aware of don't accept credits from non-accredited schools.

    It isn't non-accredited. It is nationally accredited

    Big difference...

    Ok. I meant to say regionally accredited. Most state and private universities that I am aware do not accept credits from schools are not regionally accredited; this has been my experience.

    Having worked in transcript evaluation, I wouldn't say many schools, not most, and that I believe the trend is slowly toward greater acceptance.

    This come up so often, and there seems to be so little actual data to go on, that I'm considering researching this when it comes time to pick a dissertation topic. The industry could do with some up to date research on this!

    I still say most state and privage schools will NOT take the credits from a non-regionally accredited schools; for example, ITT-Tech and ECPI etc,. If the trend was moving towards greater acceptance, then why are schools who are not regionally accredited even trying to gain regionally accredition? Also, it is my experience with on-line teaching that schools - especially non-regionally accredited schools and for profit schools- will likely not hire an adjunct who has a master or doctoral degree from a non-regionally accredited school.

    There aren't many schools that transition from national to regional accreditation. With what you're saying, shouldn't we see more of them? Besides, schools only care who accepts their credit in transfer to the extent that it affects their marketing. It's not in their interest for you to transfer away, they'd rather you stick around and finish with them.

    That's true, but I think one reason for that is that schools are so flooded with applicants for online teaching positions that anything that makes the pile shorter is a good thing.

    You've mentioned your experience twice now. What experience is that? Would you care to introduce yourself?

    As a late entry to this thread it seems that you've asked a question to which you already know the answer.

    7Up: "But are their credits transferable to a regionally accredited school?"

    John: As mentioned here many times, ten years ago, I did what seems to be the only research ever done on this matter, on a modest scale: a survey of about 300 registrars asking if they accepted various categories of non-RA degree always, usually, sometimes, rarely, or never. At that time, nationally accredited was about 40% for the first two and 40% for the last two. I suspect acceptance of national accreditation has improved, especially those that are also evaluated by the American Council on Education (a category I didn't include). But the simple and, to me, very surprising fact is that no one (as far as I know) has done this research since then. I am not going to spend a few months and $3,000 doing it again. I can only hope someone else will. It would make a swell Master's or even doctoral research topic, I think.

    No, the state license requirements I've reviewed call for faculty members to be qualified, but not specifically through academic credentials from regionally accredited institutions.
