Hmm, I would expand this further, not just DEAC... You should take a look at other options from TRACS for example, if you're looking through NA lists there are a few other accreditation options available to select from... Here's a thread from a bit over 5 years ago in regards to what type of accreditation options there are: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid310078
Study.com Offer https://bit.ly/3RTJ3I9

ACICS shut down in March 2024.
ACCET does not accredit schools offering the doctorate.
ACCSC does not accredit schools offering the doctorate.
COE does not accredit schools offering the doctorate.

Except for a couple of niche areas, like bible and other faith-based schools, your two options are DEAC- and TRACS-accredited schools. No need for a list; those two agencies maintain searchable databases on their websites.

I think the list is helpful to have them all in one place rather than having to search the database one program at a time.

In a static discussion thread that will either be (a)outdated or (b) lost in the shuffle over time? One that is not designed to be searched? 

Okay, let's make it simple. Ignore TRACS. There. Now we're down to just one at deac.org.
