Generally, large well-known universities, such as Harvard and Yale, and statewide colleges are regionally accredited. Smaller, private colleges may be nationally accredited. Programs of study that are regulated by national or state licensing boards may require specialized or professional accreditation, such as the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education or the American Bar Association. The Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) maintain directories of nationally recognized and specialized accrediting agencies. Programs that are nationally accredited may not transfer to a regionally accredited institution. One well known accrediting agency is the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC), which accredits institutions offering correspondence or other independent study programs. However, programs accredited by the DETC are not as commonly accepted by regionally accredited institutions.

When a "college" is unaccredited, you do not know what you are getting since it does not have to adhere to any nationally accepted standards, and its "degrees" are practically useless.

For example: The American College of Martial Science is run by the International Combative Arts Association, which for a fee will issue anyone a soke certification. For another fee, the college will issue you a PhD in martial arts. The "college" is accredited by the Apostolic Council on Educational Accountability, which is itself is unaccredited, which means any institution it accredits is also unaccredited. So, for a lot of money, and little else, you to can be a PhD Soke. Also check out NDCMA University.

Look at the profession of an alleged master. Many masters do not have enough students to make teaching a career so they have a job to support themselves. Ask yourself, "Why does this "professor" with so many PhDs behind his name have to work at a menial job?" One would assume that a person with so many degrees would have a more prestigious job, such as teaching at a legitimate college, being a successful author, or being a successful business person.

NOTE: Remember, over a few years, every pseudo-master breeds many pseudo-mini-masters who, by association with the pseudo-master, are themselves frauds, and every black belt certificate awarded by a fraud is bogus. The student receiving the certificate may not have been aware of the fraud, but that does not make the certificate less bogus. A person with a bogus medical degree is not a doctor, no matter how much training or experience the person has attained.
