Hello! Stumbled upon an online program whose FAQs made me chuckle: "Is the MBA Degree Program accredited?" - "No. [website owner] does not allow any organization to offer an accreditation for this program." That's cool."Yeah, if nobody wants to accredit this, well, I don't even want this to be accredited! HAH! What do you say? Who's laughing now?!?" Best regards, Mac Juli
I have seen similar spiels. That is one of the bolder types. My favorite mill spiel is the one that goes like this: Accreditation is a voluntary process, and in fact, the U.S.A Department of Education states that accreditation itself is a voluntary process. There is no mandate by federal law for a School, College or University to be accredited. Many good schools are not accredited. Also, each accreditor has its own unique standards and, thus, there is no national consistency in institutional accreditation. Accreditation in the United States is awarded by non-US governmental agencies. Again, accreditation is strictly a voluntary option in the United States and many high-quality, legitimate and legal Colleges and Universities and other institutions of higher education operate today without accreditation. That one is from Breyer State Theology University, but you can find similar ones from junk schools all across America. I have to admit though, that ETHEREAL Doctorate sounds *chef's kiss* quite tasty.
Now that Bob Jones has gotten right with SACS... name one non-ecclesiastical school that is non-accredited and is “high-quality”. I’ll wait, and I guess I’ll be waiting a long earned time.
Oh, hell, I would be too! They’d burn me at the stake, more likely, but they are the example that comes to this South Carolinian’s mind as one of those last legitimate unaccredited schools that got their accreditation properly in order.
Louisiana Baptist University Not sure LBU is High-Quality, but I thought I read on DI that some credits can transfer to Liberty University Then again, high-quality is subjective.

That Liberty accepts some credits, may not be more indicative of Liberty’s marketing strategy than LBU’s quality. There are a lot of threads on here regarding LBU. I’m sure they are very good at educating and training individuals for ministry, in their interpretations of the Bible. Of course, they’ve had issues when deviating from that charter.
Lost somewhere once upon a time circa 1995 on the cutting room floor of NBC Studios was Larry David’s and Jerry Seinfeld’s scribbled notes of an irate higher education administrator telling prospective students: “No Accreditation for you!” The line of applicants for the school, nevertheless, remained out the door. It wrapped around a whole Manhattan city block. Talk about soup to nuts!
Southeastern University in Florida also has a policy on the acceptance of unaccredited degrees/credits. There are other schools that do, including public colleges/universities.
