When choosing a college or university, make sure the institution has a regional accreditation. With a regional accreditation you can be assured the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. Below I have listed the six accrediting agencies and their geographical areas of responsibility. I am disclosing the below so you do not become a victim of educational scams, and institutions that are nothing more than diploma mills, where they are eager to take your money for a degree that is worthless. Make sure the institution is accredited by one of following responsible agencies.

What colleges accept nationally accredited colleges credits?
From my experiences I can tell you that although most colleges have admission policies that detail the requirements for credit transfer, most colleges (usually of the fully or partially online private type) are able to use their discretion when evaluating transfer students coming from exclusively nationally accredited universities. Regional accreditation is the prefered type, and those national credits will always haunt you thru ought your education due to the fact that they will continue to be evaluated seperately from other credits, this is no reason to dispair. I would look in to a college that is known to accept a large amount of your national accredited school credits. Here is a partial list: Univ. of Phoenix, Western Governors Univ., Capella, Ashford, Walden, Baker online, Fischer college, Bellevue, Kaplan, Brandman, American Public University. All of these are online though. Upper Iowa University has a campus, as well as, online.

How does ACICS nationally accredited colleges general education classes compare to regionally accredited colleges?
What I can say is that the regional accreditation is the preferred accreditation for colleges and universities to have, being that they are held to a higher standard. Thus, the coursework and degree completed through a regionally accredited institution will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. Doing the same through an institution that does not have a regional accreditation could present some problems for students in the future, especially with some employers and if they wish to continue their education at the regionally accredited schools. My personal opinion; you should stay with the regionally accredited institutions.
