Accredited online degree
If you are looking to study online and get an online degree, you probably hear and read a lot about "accredited online degree". I'd like to explain what it is in lament terms because "accredited college degree" is not something you hear so often. Suppose that you live in New York city and that you do not have any college degree. Suppose that you decide to go to college and get a degree one day. Suppose that you decide to go to CUNY (City University of New York) City College. You simply do not think about "accredited college degree" because schools that you hear and read about are generally accredited. All CUNY schools are accredited. All State University of New York schools are accredited. All Cal State (California State) schools and UC (University of California) schools are accredited. IV league, Pac 10 and all schools that you hear and read about are accredited. This is why the term "accredited" sounds so foreign. You start hearing and reading about the term "accredited" all of the sudden when you start looking to study online because not all online schools are accredited.
"accredited" simply means that the school is accreted by a regional accreditation body, which is recognized by US Department of Education. There are number of accreditation bodies, but generally speaking, truly "accredited" means to be accredited by a regional accreditation body; in other words, the school is accredited like all other schools (Harvard, Yale, University of Michigan, etc.) that you hear about.

In the coming months, we will see more traditional not for profit colleges begin to address the needs of adult learners and will market their programs like for profit schools. My research indicates that traditional schools are seeking out those wanting online bachelor degrees in record numbers. This is a fundamental shift for traditional schools as programs were only tailored toward those seeking online masters degrees. As this shift continues to manifest itself, the accreditation issue will become less and less important in the future.
