Masters in Elementary Education

[Jonathan Whatley]

Good news is regional vs national accreditation is scheduled to disappear, so a regionally accredited school will soon enable you to get a teacher's license.

Although the federal Department of Education is moving away from a distinction between regional accreditation and national accreditation towards the umbrella term institutional accreditation, as far as I know there's been no talk of federal legislation to bar any other level of government or entity from making their own distinctions between regional accreditation and national accreditation.

So if a state-level law or state- or institution-level policy specifies regional accreditation or lists the historic list of regional accreditors but no historic national accreditors, that will stay in effect until the state or institution acts to change it, if it does.
