Question about accreditation?

I have a friend whom I am trying to help enroll in a college program. I am very “leary” of online institutions that do not have a ground campus program especially for a bachealors degree. (My friend has a busy schedule, so he needs a school that has an online experience b/c of the flexibility they offer.) I have considered one school that has an online and ground campus that is accredited by an agency called the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS).

I have never heard of these accrediting agency. The only two I have heard of is North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA), and Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).

QUESTION TO YOU

1. Have you heard about this accrediting agency?

2. Is it legitimate?

3. Can go on to grad school with with a degree from a school like this?

Please offer any other advice.

The organization was founded in 1979 to “promote the welfare, interests, and development of postsecondary institutions, whose mission is characterized by a distinctly Christian purpose.”

TRACS is recognized by the United States Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.

TRACS is also a member of the International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education.

Being accredited by these organizations means that the credits earned from a college can and will be transferable to grad school.

So the answer to all your questions is “Yes”

It is a legitimate accrediting agency, one that is respected in the academic world of higher education
