Who Stands Accused?
MA
of 2 years asked:
Do the
hiring folks hold it against you for attending a lousy
school?
Heck yeah, because they won't HIRE you. 
We are NOT accusing any brick-and-mortar, or
cyber-school of being a scam, nor will we mention any
program by name as a scam, as we are in no position to do so.
However, we can say with one hundred percent certainty, that
there probably are scams out there! So, do your homework
before you sign up and pay up front for any program.

List of Accredited Postsecondary Educational
Institutions and
Programs

|
Each of the postsecondary educational
institutions and programs contained within the
database on the left (click button!) is,
or was, accredited by an accrediting agency or
state approval agency recognized by the U.S.
Secretary of Education as a “reliable authority
as to the quality of postsecondary education”
within the meaning of the Higher Education Act
of 1965, as amended (HEA).
|
|
The goal of accreditation is to ensure that
education provided by institutions of higher
education meets acceptable levels of quality.
Accrediting agencies, which are private educational
associations of regional or national scope, develop
evaluation criteria and conduct peer evaluations to
assess whether or not those criteria are met.
Institutions and/or programs that request an
agency's evaluation and that meet an agency's
criteria are then "accredited" by that
agency.

Is it a Scam?
Many government and consumer
protection agencies state that diploma mills are a
disservice to the public. Many specifically warn about diploma
and accreditation mills. The U.S. Accrediting Bureau of Health
Education Schools (ABHES) says the same thing: Be a smart
consumer! Look before you leap.
Educated consumers will always research their schools first,
and employers will always make sure they recognize the schools
you have listed in your resume when you apply. Awareness is the key.
