I am trying to find a good, affordable distance learning school to get a Bachelors in MIS or Computer Science. I've been looking at Excelsior College. Does anyone know whether or not its a good school or does anyone have a suggestion for a different one? I list themselves as accredited by the Regional Accreditation - (MSACHE) Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission on Higher Education. Is this a real accrediting agency? I'm trying to do some research on this as I made the mistake of getting involved with Kennedy Western before doing all of my research (and before I could see what some of their own students were posting on their internal boards) and don't want to make the same mistake. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks ------------------ James
Yes, Excelsior College (formerly Regents College) accreditation is legitimate. Middle States is a recognized regional accreditor. They are also accredited by several professional accrediting bodies. There are 90,000 alumni who have gone through the USNY/Regents/Excelsior program over the past 30 years. Many of these have gone on to the graduate school of their choice.
