I found this list a while back and thought it might be of interest to someone List of 'RA institutions of higher learning in the U.S.'. Enjoy!
Interesting indeed! Even California Pacific University made it onto that RA List: http://www.utexas.edu/world/univ/state/#CA
There's an option on the front page for making additions to the list. Could help someone in their search for RA schools. It's the only one I could find that was so easy to use. It's a pain searching the CHEA site. Update: Whoops! Too quick on the trigger, they've disabled that function for now.
pdbuzz: "Update: Whoops! Too quick on the trigger, they've disabled that function for now." John: I should hope so. Official sites that anyone can add to are the great joy and wish of the diploma mill operators. For years, an official Norwegian site, comparable, was editable by all, the the phonies reveled in adding to it, then saying in their marketing that they were officially approved, etc. (HERI, I think it was called.) I hope someone comes up with one that is complete, accurate, uneditable, and free. I don't know of one. (Many registrars and some HR people use the superb one at www.hepinc.com, which costs a mere $625 a year.)
Useful site.... A lot of big firms will reimburse for tuition if the school is a member of ACE www.acenet.edu since ACEnet maintains a membership listing here http://www.acenet.edu/resources/memberdirectory/index.cfm?filter=ins_sys and a quick link to the school's website. 88% of CHEA accredited schools are members of ACE. "Membership in the American Council on Education is open to all U.S. degree-granting colleges and universities that are accredited by a CHEA-recognized accrediting agency (CHEA)."
Oops, that's embarassing. There a couple more less egregious mistakes in the California list as well - Lincoln U. is accredited by ACICS and Platt College is ACCSCT, but neither is RA. I notice that Rockefeller University is listed for NY State, despite its not being RA. (Maybe winning a few Nobel Prizes makes a school honorary RA or something.) But Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Memorial Sloan Kettering, which also offer prestigious NYRegent's accredited doctoral programs aren't listed, despite their researchers having won Nobels too.
