    I have read a lot of posts and online info regarding UNISA, however most were several years old, or not specifically what I was looking for. I am starting an online MS in Mathematics program from a CHEA accredited university in the US, with the goal of teaching community college. I have found UNISA's PhD program in Mathematics, and as far as I can tell, this university is not or no longer accredited by anything recognized in the USA (if I am wrong, please correct me..... With references!). I was wondering if people know if community colleges would recognize a PhD from UNISA (for salary purposes) if my Masters is from an accredited institution? I'm not necessarily looking to teach at the university level (although I am not against the possibility either). I am choosing UNISA not only for the cost, but the main reason is availability. They are the only online PhD program in mathematics that I can find, and I am currently working full time in the engineering industry, so on-campus programs are just not an option for me right now (financially or time wise). So based upon my availability, UNISA's program looks perfect. Any information regarding my concerns would be GREATLY appreciated. Who knows what programs will be available when I finish the masters program, but I'm really hoping UNISA's will work out for me.
