Current US States where use of an unaccredited degree is illegal

In the situation I'm working, the school has a particular footprint in social change. Also, it has a master's program in counseling that leads to state licensure. Their graduates in both areas are very purposeful, driven, and their degrees work for them.

 

Sounds like a very worthwhile school. I wonder why they're so set against accreditation? Because the expense will raise cost to students? Because they think the accreditor might pull strings on what / how they teach? I hope they can resolve this, because if the State goes "Accredit or Die" as Wyoming, Alabama and quite a few others have gone --- and California is on its way, it could become an insurmountable issue. We need them. We already have more than enough business schools that teach people how to extract money. This school is focused on helping. I hope for its continued success.

 

They're not set against accreditation. They're currently pursuing it. But it's because the state demands it, not because they want or need it.

The school has had to transform itself. Because their regional accreditor initially said it would consider the school--operating for nearly 50 years--then pulled the rug out by saying it would not, they've had to look elsewhere. When ACICS imploded that left DEAC. But becoming a school DEAC can (or will) accredit requires dramatic changes to degree content and delivery. They practically had to "commoditize" their offerings. You know, DEAC's "course in a box" correspondence school approach. But I think they'll be successful.

 

I sure hope so. Sounds like a very much-needed school.
