U. S. Career Institute

Answer 1

US Career Institute is a distance learning college. They are accredited by the Distance Education Training Council . The DETC is a national accreditation agency which is not a very prestigious level of accreditation. If you want a well-recognized degree where your credits transfer to most other schools, you want a school with regional accreditation.

US Career Institute is not a Diploma Mill per se but it's not a very good school either. To see some better online schools look for some online college reviews by searching Google.

Answer 3

I wish I knew trying to figure it out as well.

I absolutely love U.S. Career Institute. They are accredited, a member of BBB and the courses are excellent. I elected to take a degree program and am very happy with the instructors, the material, the help, etc. If you have a question, you can email an instructor or call the help line.

I'm glad that I went this route instead of a non-accredited school.
