That is not that bad but you would definitely want to check first.
That leaves 43 other states and thousands of colleges.
As cited in the original post, APU is also offering a 3 year bachelors degree and it is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission which accredits approximately 1,000 colleges and universities in 19 U.S. states (Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming).

About 5% of regionally accredited colleges in the US…
That is more than the 0.1% usually recommended in this forum.
Don’t get me wrong, I think it is a great in the right direction, universities just tend to be conservative when it comes to changing requirements.
