I am getting my BS in CS through ACCIS which is accredited through the DETC. Once out of the Navy, I want to go to a traditional college to get my Masters degree. Do anyone think many schools will recognize my Bacc. degree from a DETC accredited college? Thanks, JohnC
Based on the registrar research project I did last year, the answer is that about 20% will routinely accept it, another 20% will consider it, and 60% will not. For a regionally accredited non-resident program in this field, such as Thomas Edison State, the figures would be roughly 60% routine acceptance, 35% consider it, and 5% not. So if you have a specific Master's program (or programs) in mind, it would be wise to inquire now as to acceptance of your intended Bachelor's.

Yes, please provide specifics! This is the first time I've heard any indication that a TESC degree may not receive routine acceptance, let alone the possibility of it being completely unacceptable. None of the grad schools I've corresponded with have even blinked when I mention a BA from TESC, but then again my inquiries have all been directed at distance learning programs. I'd really like to see a list of these schools...
