I am not talking about regionally accredited, everyone and their mother is regionally accredited. I am talking about the actual program accreditation. This is what the admissions and even employers look at.

Spazz,

In my experience, the vast majority of graduate admissions departments and employers require only that the undergraduate degree be "Regionally Accredited". Obviously, they may also specify that your UG degree must be in a certain subject related to your desired graduate course of study or intended occupation, but that's different from the accreditation issue.

Profession-specific and/or program-specific accreditation does seem to acquire much greater significance at the graduate level in certain cases, but at the undergraduate level...not so much!

You have suggested that, since "everyone and their mother is regionally accredited", admissions and employers look at actual program accreditation rather than regional accreditation. You seem to infer that this is the norm for graduate school admission. Can you provide us with some examples of graduate schools that require a more specific accreditation than regional in order to gain admission to their master's program?

It will be interesting to see which schools you are referring to. I am sure that the examples you provide to support your statement will also be of great help to Johanna as she weighs up the pros and cons.

Thanks in advance,
