U.S. Regional Accrediting Organizations


Middle States Association of Colleges & Schools - Commission on Higher Education ...accredits institutions in Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, & Virgin Islands.

New England Association of Schools & Colleges - Commission on Institutions of Higher Education ...accredits institutions in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, & Vermont.

North Central Association of Colleges & Schools - Higher Learning Commission ...accredits institutions in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, West Virginia, Wisconsin, & Wyoming.

Northwest Commission on Colleges & Universities ...accredits institutions in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, & Washington.

Southern Association of Colleges & Schools - Commission on Colleges ...accredits institutions in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, & Virginia.

Western Association of Schools & Colleges ...accredits institutions in California, Hawaii, & the Pacific.

I have some questions about these.....

Is the only thing that differentiates them the location? Or does it go deeper than that? Is these the only accreditation we are supposed to be looking for when applying to any given area or is there more?

If your area of study has a professional accrediting body you will want to look into that as well.

For instance engineering, science and technology programs are accredited by ABET - ABET You can usually find out what particular accreditation's a College has by googling "College Name, accreditation"

This is exactly the what I needed to know. I am looking into getting a Master's Degree in Civil Engineering, preferably online. I've been doing some research in a couple of universities but they all seem to have different certifications.

Where can I find what certification is needed for each Degree? Whats the best official site to look into? TNX.
