For colleges and universities within the United States and its territories, you can obtain this information by clicking on the related links section (College Board) indicated at the bottom of this answer section and using the College Board site College MatchMaker search engine. You can research colleges and universities by name, or by programs of study, or by geographical location, size, or combinations of part or all of them. The site will provide you with a list of institutions based on your request. It will give you the schools background, accreditation, degree offerings, programs of study (majors), entrance requirements, tuition and fees, financial assistance, room and board, athletic programs, school activities, etc., and a link to each institutions official web page. Practice navigating this site. It will be well worth the time and effort.

WARNING!!!

When choosing a college or university within the United States, 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 regional accrediting agencies and their geographical areas of responsibility. I am disclosing the below so you do not become a victim of educational scams, institutions that are nothing more than diploma mills, or that do not have the best accreditation, and are eager to take your money for a degree that is worthless. Make sure the institution is accredited by one of following responsible agencies.

Is a diploma online accepeted in the military?

Answer 1: no you have to have a GED or high school diplomaAnswer 2: I'm sorry, the first answer is incorrect. It matters not to the military if any high school, trade school or college diploma was earned online or in-classroom.What matters, at the high school level, is whether or not the school which issued the diploma is accredited by one of the six big "regional" accreditors approved by the US Department of Education (USDE). Only "regional" accreditation will do at the high school level. Let no one convince you that a "nationally" accredited high school is just as good. While that may be true at the college level, it is positively not true at the high school level. Only a high school diploma from a "regionally" accredited high school -- regaredless whether it's of the online or in-classroom type -- will do.What matters, at the post-secondary (college) level is whether or not the school which issued the diploma is accredited by an agency that's approved by either USDE, or the USDE-sanctioned Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Either a "regionally" or "nationally" accredited school is okay at the college level, as long as its accreditor is either or both of USDE- and/or CHEA-approved.That said, some believe that only "regionally" accredited colleges, universities, seminaries and post-secondary trade/vocational schools are valid, just like pretty much everyone believes (and correctly so) that only "regionally" accredited high schools are valid. Whether or not that's true at the post-secondary level is debatable; however, at the high school level, only a "regionally" accredited diploma is worth having.The US military will definitely accept a GED or "regionally" accredited high school or college diploma, regardless whether it was earned online or in-classroom.The US military has also been known to accept a college (or other post-secondary school) diploma from either a "regionally" or "nationally" accredited school -- regardless whether it was earned online or in-classroom -- as long as said school's accreditor is approved by a USDE- and/or CHEA-approved accreditor. To play it safe, though, it's always better to stick with the "regionally" accredited schools, regardless whether they're online or in-classroom.
