Many students aren’t aware of this, but accreditation is an incredibly important facet of your education, be it distance learning or traditional one. The thing is – before choosing a school, it is important to have a clear picture of whether your school is accredited and what that accreditation means for your future. Before setting out to purse a degree you need to understand this – without accreditation, you will find yourself with a degree employers don’t respect. So basically you’ll go to college for naught.

To make sure you have stumbled upon an accredited online university or offline one, you need to check for red flags. For example, if its students aren’t eligible for federal financial aid or if credits are awarded for very little work and effort.

When seeking to apply for a traditional of distance learning program make sure to check for testimonials from previous students. If you find evidence of numerous student complaints about the educational quality offered by the wannabe accredited online university.

Many unaccredited institutions are the equivalent of diploma mills, offering students no actual value. Some fake accrediting agencies also exist, set up only to give a fake aura of legitimacy to the institutions that they falsely support. If you are a student in the US, you should always check the Department of Education database of recognized universities and colleges.

The benefits of having a degree form from an accredited university are tremendous and this is why need to make sure you are not pinning your hopes and dreams on a fake institution. Even getting an associate degree (which is a two-year program) will increase your paycheck on average with 25%. Don’t forget that for many jobs, having a degree is necessary to be hired at all, or to get that promotion you’ve always dreamed of.

However, it can’t be just any degree. It must be an accredited one. And remember this – if you apply for a college program at an accredited institution you also have a good chance to receive funding.
