FAQ
"Do these degrees have the same credentials as other degrees? Will graduate schools recognize them?
Yes, the new three-year bachelor’s degrees are offered by BYU-Idaho and Ensign College, institutions accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. Graduate programs focus on the regional accreditation of bachelor's degrees, not the number of credits required in the degree"

That's only 1 of the accreditation boards though. And there are grad programs that do require 120 undergrad credits. Some schools are super picky and some grad programs are even pickier.

The Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities overseas 163 institutions in 7 U.S. states (Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington) and 1 Canadian province (British Columbia), 79 of which offer graduate degrees. That is not that bad but you would definitely want to check first.

That leaves 43 other states and thousands of colleges.
