== == The United States does not have a federal law that would unambiguously prohibit diploma mills, and the term "university" is not legally protected. As a result, the United States is a diploma mill haven from a global viewpoint. The United States Department of Education lacks direct plenary authority to regulate schools and, consequently, the quality of an institution's degree. Under the terms of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, the U.S. Secretary of Education is required by law to publish a list of nationally recognized accrediting agencies that the Secretary determines to be reliable authorities on the quality of education or training provided by the institutions of higher education that they accredit. Diploma mills are mainly found in the U.S. jurisdictions which have not adopted tough laws to prohibit them. Also, some degree mills have taken advantage of the U.S. Constitution's protection of religion by representing themselves as Bible colleges, since in many jurisdictions religious institutions can legally offer degrees in religious subjects without government regulation. Nevertheless, some religious colleges and seminaries have been fined for issuing degrees without meeting educational requirements Database for accreditation - http://www.chea.org/ Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diploma_mill My daughter went to a private Christian non-accredited high school and graduated. Now that she is applying for government positions, the merit board has disqualified her application because she has a diploma from a non accredited high school.
Most universities will accept a non-accredtied degree, as they will also accept home-schooled students (which is pretty much the same as an un-accredited diploma). However, you need to show that you are worthy with passable SAT or ACT scores. In addition, most community colleges will accept anyone, regardless of if they even have a high school diploma. in addition, you can use the diploma to apply for federal financial aid for college.
When it comes to state and government jobs, it gets a little shady. However, you can join the military with a non-accredited diploma, by taking the Armed Forces Qualification Test.
