Bless you for this gift of snark

And oh God, I just want to record a 10 minute explainer about us accreditation to you, but like you know, I’m lazy.

On the accreditation front, my husband teaches photography at the University of Texas, Arlington, and their degrees are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. My community colleges’s degrees are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commissions on Colleges. We go through the accreditation process every ten years; we are in the middle of one now, which means lots of scurrying about to meet the standards. https://sacscoc.org/about-sacscoc/faqs/.

"The university is not accredited but received approval from the state of Texas to grant degrees..." And no one gets tenure. The perfect scam -- $32,000 per year per student.

Is fascinating. Yey. More management consultants

Nancy Hale

Looks like a lot of the first student cohorts will have career paths in digital domains — programming & data analysis and content creation (the humanities, politics & creative writing stuff.)

Just to clear up some confusion. You have to sit board exams for your professional accreditation AFTER you get your academic qualification here in the US. They're separate processes. It's not like Australia where your professional license comes with the degree. Aussie living in US here.

Isn't Justice Thomas's buddy Harlan Crow (no relation) a major donor to U of A? Pretty sure he owns the de facto campus.

My prediction is that most graduates will end up working as Republican legislative staff and for advocacy groups and sort of thing.

Hi Chris and Matt, Graduate admissions officer here. There are varying accreditation and degree-granting institutions determined by individual countries’ systems. There are classifications of types of degree-granting institutions eg. Professional, theological, special interest etc. and it varies by country. But, if an institution says it not accredited, it is most likely referring to the international designation database managed by UNESCO in collaboration with the International Association of Universities called WHED, World Higher Education Database. You can look up any institution on WHED and it will give information about it and its programs etc. If an institution doesn’t show up on WHED, it is NOT internationally accredited. So you can get a bachelor degree in a degree-granting institution in USA, but if it is not accredited according to WHEd you can’t use the degree to qualify for grad school in USA or any other country. So, the credential has limited value; It may be fine for many who want a postsecondary degree but one with local relevance only or one that is specific to a certain career path in the home country. Obviously, the word accreditation also refers to specific designations like engineering etc. but not in this context.
