RA School accepts non-accredited degrees?

I am reposting this here, as I posted it on the "Off Topic" board on accident.

I have discovered an RA school that offers various degree programs, including graduate level degrees. This school WILL consider an unaccredited degree, according to its website. First time I have ever seen anything like this. I have attached the link below, and copied an excerpt from it's site:
Unaccredited Degree Admissions

"An applicant with a baccalaureate degree from an unaccredited institution (see Academic Standards above), may seek admission by special review. A copy of the institution’s catalog, setting forth the program of instruction, faculty credentials, and learning resources shall be submitted at the time of application. The applicant may be asked to provide additional information to establish the equivalency of the prior education with accredited institutions."

When universities have room they will often relax entrance requirements. The rational is that they obtain tuition and they are not really lowering standards... i.e. regardless of your background, you still need to perform to standard to obtain a degree.

 

For accredited graduate schools which may accept unaccredited degrees, you may also check:

Texas A&M Commerce www.tamu-commerce.edu

Henderson State University www.hsu.edu/dept/grad/gengrad2.htm

Ohio State University www.hcs.ohio-state.edu/hcs/Ed/Graduate/grdhb_2.html

Or transfer credits from unaccredited U to accredited U. www.osu.orst.edu/dept/clasked/acareg.htm#3

Some RA accredited seminaries will accept TRACS accredited degrees or transfer credits.
