But there's still the matter that they're nationally-accredited, not regionally.  Once I've completed the degree, will that matter?

Yes. Especially in your field. - But that's for another day.

I am not sure that I'm feeling especially articulate right now, but if I could try and encourage you a bit. I was EXACTLY where you are, and reading comments from others in this thread brings it all back. I remember hitting a few speed bumps during my AA/BA process.

Getting through the classes was always the LEAST of my headaches, it was ALWAYS the "process" happening somewhere outside of my control. This or that person's hand in my completion/success in some office somewhere.

On the other side of this, with my degree(s) in hand, I want to tell you that 50% of people who start won't finish (ever) and I believe it's because of the B&#LSH$T of a broken system. When I meet college graduates, I no longer am *impressed* by their knowledge or smarts, I'm impressed by their tenacity. College is just about jumping through the hoops and not letting them wear you down.

Whatever you decide, don't stop. Just keep going- that's the only way.
