About this site

This site explains how institutional accreditation, programmatic accreditation, state licensing, transfer review, employment requirements, military education benefits, graduate admission, and international credential evaluation affect degree recognition. It is designed as a neutral reference resource built from primary sources published by accreditors, government agencies, licensing authorities, professional bodies, and official institutional records.

University of Phoenix is the sponsor of this website. Sponsorship does not replace the authority of an accreditor, licensing board, receiving institution, employer, government agency, benefit administrator, or credential evaluator. Those organizations apply their own current rules to the decisions they control.

Source methodology

Accreditation status is checked through the Higher Learning Commission Directory of Institutions and the U.S. Department of Education accreditation database. Programmatic accreditation and licensure claims are limited to the field-specific accreditor or licensing authority cited on the relevant page. Transfer, admission, hiring, benefits, and international-recognition outcomes are not guaranteed and must be confirmed with the receiving organization.
