Before registering to study in any education institution in the United States, a student should make certain that the institution is accredited in order to assure that the school has a recognized standard of organization, instruction, and financial support. Foreign students should be particularly careful to check an institution’s accreditation because other government or future employers may not recognize a degree earned from a school that has not received accreditation.
