However the process is VOLUNTARY and it is not "necessary" to operate as often smaller programs simply cannot afford the cost of such an ongoing review process.
In an effort to keep program cost down and the current motivational based format, BU has not sought nor been approved by the US DOE, CHEA or DETC organizations and does not represent itself to be an accredited program of any of these organizations. BU incorporates an internal review or self-auditing approach to assure consistent standards that include but are not limited to:

Diploma Mill Police > Degree Mills, What They Are and How To Avoid Them | | | 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! |
