Attending a regionally accredited institution allows you to apply for federal financial aid and may also impact your employment, your ability to obtain professional licensure, and your ability to transfer academic credits to another institution.
Those who are considering advanced degrees—a master's after a bachelor's, or a Ph.D. after a master's—should pay particular attention to the issue of regional accreditation because most graduate degrees require that the prerequisite B.A./B.S./M.A./M.S. be granted by a regionally accredited institution.
In addition, accreditation is important to employers. Those who offer tuition assistance may only offer the benefit for employees in regionally accredited programs. Employers may also require that degrees used to meet job qualifications were earned from a regionally accredited institution.
