Unrecognized and Fake Agencies for Online College Accreditation

Here is the official Get Educated list of 30-plus distance learning accrediting agencies that claim to oversee a variety of online college and university degree programs.  Most "accredit" diploma mills or degree mills.

Consumers Beware - NONE of these accrediting agencies are recognized as college accreditors in the U.S. by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation or the U.S. Department of Education. As such, colleges claiming “accreditation” by these agencies are not accepted as valid providers of online education or degrees and should be approached with great caution if online college credibility is important to you.

Remember -- Most diploma mills and degree mills are accredited -- but by fake or phony agencies that the degree mills themselves own and operate!
