It is clear that credits and degrees earned from foreign schools are routinely accepted -- provided they are evaluated as comparable to regionally accredited credits and degrees earned in the U.S. Every school contacted indicated their willingness to accept such degrees and credits. Most required the credits/degrees to be evaluated by a foreign credential evaluation agency. One school did its own evaluations; another worked directly with an evaluation agency. But most required the students to get this evaluation done on their own. It is interesting to note that every school contacted was receptive to foreign credits and degrees, but just the opposite was true of those issued by nationally accredited schools in the U.S.!
No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Not a single school said it would accept credits and/or degrees from unaccredited schools. This included schools accredited by agencies not recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, as well as schools approved by their respective state agencies. It didn't matter, for example, whether or not the state had a relatively thorough system (like California) or almost no standards at all (like Wyoming). Degrees and credits from unaccredited schools were simply not accepted.
