This isn't straightforward so bear with us. The U.S. Department of Education does not accredit colleges and universities directly, but it does authorize a number of organizations to do so. Some of these are national in reach while others are regional. Regional accreditation is the gold standard and is the most widely recognized. It's important that the college or university that confers your degree be regionally accredited to ensure that your degree is recognized as widely as possible.
