    Yes it does. Also says this: " Academy School of Blockchain @ Kingsland University - A SACS accredited school..."

    Some info here: http://www.advanc-ed.org/oasis2/u/par/accreditation/summary;jsessionid=BA5C395A298A5989C01B9085D8E20650?institutionId=58013
    And here: https://trademarks.justia.com/874/65/kingsland-87465937.html

    According to all the above, Kingsland U is accredited as a private school. Yes, it's accredited, but I don't think this adds up to the same thing as your traditional Big-6 RA University. Likely doesn't need to be, either. Not a degree course. I'm open for comment, here (as always). Not saying you shouldn't go there, if you want to learn blockchain development. Just maybe don't have über-expectations re: what the accreditation is. The accreditation is legit, but it doesn't quite appear the same (to me) as what traditionally applies to "big 6" RA universities as we know them. AdvancED's own info on itself here:

    "AdvancED was created through a 2006 merger of the Pre-K-12 divisions of the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI)—and expanded through the addition of the Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC) in 2012."
