Weird Accreditation Question

[Sagan]

The accreditation status of one's degree is that of the school's at the time the degree was conferred.

However, as a practical matter, degrees from unaccredited schools that subsequently become accredited are often treated as if they came from accredited schools.

If your degree comes from a school that subsequently lost its accreditation, you technically graduated with a degree from an accredited school, yet a background check might not reveal that.

The good news: so many employers don't know, don't care, and don't check. That's why we have a billion-dollar diploma mill industry.
