National accreditation is provided by agencies approved by the CHEA and involves a less comprehensive evaluation. They typically focus on a specific type of educational service, such as career and vocational training or distance learning. Because standards are less rigid, students who attend nationally accredited schools may have trouble transferring credits to a regionally accredited institution. The other type of accreditation is program-specific, and includes agencies such as the the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, the American Occupational Therapy Association, Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education, or the American Psychological Association, Commission on Accreditation. Students who want to learn more about accrediting bodies can find a full list of all accredited school’s through the Department of Education’s website or the Council for Higher Education’s website.
