NOTE: Why it is important to attend a "regionally-accredited" college?

Regional accreditation is the most widely accepted accreditation in the country. Credits obtained from a regionally-accredited school will transfer without question to any other school. Ivy League schools are NOT accredited at all but have earned a such an outstanding reputation among high educational institutions that they don't need it.  Otherwise, stay clear of "nationally-accredited" and otherwise for your bachelors degree or higher, as those schools are not necessarily considered legitimate among other colleges and employers (!).
