ASU vs Liberty - For MS in BIOLOGY

[bjcheung77]

This looks nice. Thank you for sharing ! 
Please mindful with Washington State University - It has nationally accredited.
University of Missouri - Columbia - only BioMedical science course is nationally accredited. Rest university is regionally accredited. 
As per my research, many reputed Universities do accept students into PhD from nationally accredited programs/Universities.

That's great, you should do some further research into some programs if you're interested in them.  The EIU program mentioned above is very affordable as well.  I should and will add that program later into my list as well... Accreditation is hard to explain, there are Nationally Accredited institutions which usually deal with trade/vocational diplomas/degrees but now have crossed over to Associates, Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral degrees in various fields.

In regards to Washington State University, the university is Regionally Accredited by NWCCU and University of Missouri - Columbia may have programs that are Nationally Recognized (It's different than being Accredited), both are RA and should have Nationally Recognized programs as well... These programs may have programmatic/secondary accreditation. 

Nationally Recognized programs are different than the institutional accreditation they have programmatic or secondary accreditation in addition to RA or NA, as an example ABET, it just indicates the program be it Computing or Engineering has nationally recognized programs and are authorized by ABET.  Another is ACBSP, they accredit Business programs nationally and internationally.
