    The University of Atlanta receives a Georgia NPEC accreditation. Does this make any difference in this school being looked at as a degree mill. Other Schools on the list are Argosy University, American InterContinental University, Cambridge College, Central Michigan University, DeVry University, etc....

    The University of Atlanta is accredited by DETC:

    Wow! Virtual Institution moves their campus location really easily. The University of Atlanta used to be in Mobile, Alabama; and how in Atlanta, GA. :)

    Umm, the University of Atlanta is not a degree mill. As someone has already pointed out, it is nationally accredited by the DETC.

    UoA was formerly known as Barrington University, which some have accused of being a degree mill. I would assume that since they have gained DETC accreditation (and I believe have gone through an ownership change), this would indicate that some wholesale changes have been made to their programs. While Barrington was, at the very least, unaccredited, there is no reason to believe that UoA is not worthy of consideration for one's DL studies.

    Hmm. I wonder whether this will come as any big shock or surprise to the windmill tilters over at degreedisgusted who thought they were degree mill chasers.
