The school is not accredited by the U.S. Department of Education and not accredited by any accrediting agency recognized by the United States Secretary of Education, and lastly is not accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC). Thus, there are better choices out there. If you are planning on taking a degree through a college or university within the United States, or plan on working within the United States, please read the following carefully.

For institutions within the United States and its territories, the critical issue is the schools accreditation. 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 are listed the six regional accrediting agencies and their geographical areas of responsibility. Make sure the school is accredited by one of them.

Regional Accreditation Agencies

· Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools - Educational institutions in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands, as well as schools for American children in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

· New England Association of Schools and Colleges - Educational institutions in the six New England states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont).

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

· Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities - Postsecondary institutions (colleges and universities) in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington.

· Western Association of Schools and Colleges - Educational institutions in California, Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, Micronesia, Palau, and Northern Marianas Islands.

Is William Howard Taft university DETC accredited?

Yes. WHTU is accredited by DETC (distance education and training council) a national accreditation agency recognized by the DOE (department of education) and the CHEA (council for higher education accreditation). However, US National Accreditation is not as highly regarded as Regional Accreditation, probably because NA accredits distance schools whereas RA accredits traditional bricks and mortar schools. With that said, there are schools like the University of Phoenix that are RA accredited (and very expensive) that should not automatically garner more respect simply because they are RA.
