    Depending on what y’all mean by accredited. All schools that offer any type of government financial aid are accredited schools. Most all US schools are accredited.

      Your diction and grammar speaks, volumes as to your level of intelligence. A little anger management classes would do you wonders. Please de-trash yourself before you start typing. For that matter don’t type at all, leave such matters to mature enlighten individuals who exhibit a modicum of self-control.

      Your malaise appears to be self contempt. Since by unnecessarily condemning your fellowmen on DNO, you are in turn slamming yourself. Go figure!

      Apparently they want to make sure they don’t attend the same school you did. Asking a question and putting a comma at the end followed by “when” without even a space after the comma.

    For anyone who needs to check accreditation of US universities, Google “ABET” and you can research their listing. This is an accreditation organization.

      ABET is specific to engineering programs, so Googling this won’t help someone trying to figure out whether these four schools are properly institutionally accredited (which it turns out that they are).

      I don’t think its that difficult to find out for yourself. Do some research.

        It is so sad that some posters are so engrained in the beggar mode, that they believe that due diligence is a bad word.

        The same way you feel so grateful that the scholarship offering was made public, why be so defensive if the accreditation aspect was included, so all can benefit? What do you have to lose? The sad thing is that the query was addressed to DNO and not to any moron. Yet some nosy social misfits chose to convolute a trifle in other to edify their microscopic cerebral presence.

        If one has to use your reasoning(or lack here-of) then you too should be using the same Google to do your research for your scholarship instead of depending on DNO to fish it out for you.

        It’s attitudes like yours that got black people into slavery in the first place. You eat first, and ask what you eat later, (if you are able)

        A simple advice would be to mind your own business!

      Yes, all four of these schools are regionally accredited, which is the type of institutional accreditation that is best recognised within the U.S. itelf and internationally.
