    The University of St. Augustine is nationally accredited. Here's what makes no sense: Admission into their Doctor of Occupational Therapy requires a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution. This makes ZERO sense to me.

    Can someone please explain? It would be greatly appreciated.

    It might have a lot to do with licensing in individual states. Only a guess.

    It looks like their doctorate program is a "first professional" degree. Many first professional degrees do not require more than a bachelor's for admittance and some times less.

    Some examples, Juris Doctorate (JD), Doctor of Chiropractic (DC), Doctor of Medicine (MD), etc..

    The problem was not in going from a bachelor's degree to a doctorate, but requiring the potential student to have a regionally accredited bachelor's to get into a doctoral program that was nationally accredited. One would think that a nationally accredited bachelor's degree would be acceptable.

    Thanks, Tom. I guess I should have read the original post a little closer. :)
