here is a little-known rule preventing qualified graduates of American Bar Association-accredited law schools from taking the bar in New Hampshire:
'Supreme Court Rule 42:
'(4)(a) Every such applicant must furnish satisfactory proof that before beginning the study of law the applicant successfully completed at least three (3) years of work required for a bachelor's degree in an accredited college.
'(b) Every such applicant must have graduated from a law school approved by the American Bar Association . . .'
The essence of this rule prevents those who have graduated from an accredited law school but whose bachelor's degree is from an unaccredited undergraduate school from practicing law in our state. Perhaps a change in this rule, which would waive the accreditation requirement for undergraduate schools as long as the law school is accredited, would allow potential lawyers to take the bar and help alleviate the strain that threatens New Hampshire's court system.

Special to the Press-Register
Over the past several decades, the delivery of education has expanded from the traditional classroom. Instruction methods now include online and video teaching, interactive videos, compressed video and correspondence delivery.
The change has been more accommodating for many students, typically those employed full-time who are seeking a degree but have limited time to commit.
A market-driven need for skilled workers has made education in the 21st century a big business. As a business commodity, education is a key to economic development and quality of life.
That means education is in demand -- and, unfortunately, there are those who have seen this as a way to make money by offering questionable and even fake college degrees.
These operations, often Internet-based and complete with fraudulent accreditation, have grown into a lucrative, billion-dollar-per-year industry that utilizes sophisticated marketing techniques and delivers false credentials with big price tags."

Accreditation
UOP is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. UOP as a school is regionally accredited. UOP does not have professional accreditation for many of its majors, in particular its very popular MBA program. In British Columbia, the University of Phoenix was accredited by the Private Post-Secondary Education Commission (PPSEC) in 2002. That agency is now called the Private Career Training Institutions Agency (PCTIA).
[edit] Business Programs
UOP does not have 'professional accreditation' for their business programs, however UOP is a candidate for accreditation with ACBSP. According to a UoP statement,
Employers have not expressed a preference for business school accreditation. Regional accreditation, like that of the Higher Learning Commission, which accredits the University of Phoenix, is important for students seeking employer reimbursement and federal financial aid. With respect to the academic issues, UOP students greatly benefit from being taught by practitioner faculty who are experts in their field. This allows our students to integrate and apply the content knowledge to their chosen professions. By adhering to this model of instruction, the University of Phoenix is better served by not being accredited by AACSB. In addition, compliance by UOP facult"
