    Please consider this....

    The legitimacy of many unaccredited institutions such as the one you inquire about has been questioned by many in positions of authority. The State of Oregon (and others) has banned the use of credentials from many such institutions to gain employment. Although the graduates of similar institutions that are not recognized by the DOE have gone on to successful employment, there is a danger.

    Hypothetical scenario based on the diploma from a fictional school:

    Let’s say you pass whatever prerequisite requirement exists for the (fictional) University of Southern Atlantis, Neptune School of Aquatic Engineering, and graduate with a Masters of Automotive Detail Technologies, and later complete post graduate studies earning your Philosophical Doctorate (Ph.D.) in Wax Applications and Buffology. With some luck, you are immediately hired in a supervisory capacity to the most elite and prestigious car-wash in town based (at least in part) on your impeccable resume. Let’s further assume that you are quite capable at your job and rise to the position of Regional Director for the entire company chain. It is quite possible that one day someone will recognize the source of your credential and such recognition will jeopardize the position you worked so diligently to earn. For this reason alone, regardless of your personal view of the institution, it is safer to consider an institution with state and governmentally recognized standards.

    Just my two cents.
