Penn Foster College does not have the preferred regional accreditation which can promote some problems for you in a variety of areas with other colleges and universities as well as employers. Whenever you search for colleges and universities make sure the school 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 regional accrediting agencies and their geographical areas of responsibility. Make sure the school is accredited by one of them.
