Yes, a nationally accredited doctorate degree is recognized as a fully legitimate degree just as nationally accredited bachelors and masters are. Nonetheless, they are fairly new to the educational world and some may question their validity. The only doctorates that are currently approved for national accreditation are the professional doctorates such as Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) or Doctor of Education. The research doctorates (PhDs) are not currently being offered by nationally accredited universities. The US Department of Education treats national and regional accreditation the same and makes no distinction between them. It is the unfortunate "turf" war between regional and national accreditors that causes a few of the regionals to occasionally not recognize the degrees of a national accreditor. There may also be some professional associations or licenses which may not recognize certain degrees. You should check with any professional organization that is in your industry to be certain there will not be any problems. If you earn a nationally accredited doctorate you will have the legitimate title of "Doctor" in the profession of your choice.
