A Nationally Accredited degree can get you a commission in the Army or a job in government. For most practical purpose there would be no discrimination because most people wouldn't understand any differences, if indeed there are any. There is discrimination in academia, however a few people with Nationally Accredited degrees teach at Regionally Accredited schools. Regional Accreditors, themselves, do not officially discriminate. All other things being equal, the Regionally Accredited degree is preferable but things are rarely equal. Regionally Accredited schools are heavy on the BS factors while in Nationally Accredited schools you pay your money and go to school.
