Is regional accreditation still important for grad school?

[soliloquy]

Any school with accreditation recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or CHEA can participate in Title IV funding. Many DETC schools choose not to participate to keep costs low; CSU is not one of them. Amberton University, which is RA, chooses not to participate in Title IV.

Amberton does allow deferral of payments if your credit history if satisfactory. If I had chosen to go there, I would have used this option. I like their statement regarding pay as you go and long-term debt. Since it is a Christian college, it makes sense to me that this would be their philosophy. Romans 13:8 to owe nothing but love is a powerful reminder of God's distaste for all forms of debt that are not being paid in a timely manner (see also Psalm 37:21). I wonder why other Christian colleges, given those values, don't follow suit.
