Excelsior College Offers NCCRS-Approved Programs - sanantone - 07-17-2016
I did not know that some of Excelsior's non-credit programs were NCCRS-approved for college credit. The Six Sigma Black Belt program is evaluated at the graduate level.

I wonder if any grad schools will actually accept it as recommended

These programs are expensive, though. So, unless you've completed one of these programs as job training, I wouldn't go through them just for the purpose of earning a few college credits. An actual college course will be cheaper. Most of the programs are only evaluated for 3-6 credits, and they cost from over $1,000 to over $2,000.

Yes, it's a bit expensive though for this type of certification. I touched up on it a couple of months back.

Update: There's two types of accreditation agencies, generic accreditation http://www.iassc.org/ and the gold standard http://asq.org/index.aspx
