<p>In the US, regional accreditation is the baseline peer review for any “quality” bachelor’s degree granting school. The standards are not all that high, although it means that a bachelor’s degree granting school in the US without regional accreditation should be viewed more skeptically.</p>

<p>There is also major-specific accreditation, such as ABET for engineering, AACSB for business, ACS for chemistry, and NAAB for architecture. Not all majors have a major-specific accreditation organization.</p>

<p>If you intend to study such a major. Major-specific accreditation applies only to the degree program in question, not the entire school.</p>

<p>As far as the accreditation for the entire school, choose a school with regional accreditation, not national accreditation or no accreditation.</p>

<p>Why not national accreditation? Wouldnt nationally recognized be better than regionally recognized?</p>
