Regionally accredited - the highest and most useful. 2. Nationally accredited - real, but not as recognized or useful. Yes it is less than regional accreditation, which isn't intuitive. 3. Unaccredited Kaplan is regionally accredited, so you will be fine there. We are one of the largest employers in the state and accept all regionally accredited degrees. Acceptance is very high at the associates level of courses online since it is very vocational. I wouldn't recommend an online doctorate on the other end though. If in doubt, look at the job ads for the position you are seeking.
