Is American Heritage University of Southern California recognized or accredited?

American Heritage University of Southern California (AHUSC) is not an accredited university. As a result, its degrees hold little to no value:

- AHUSC claims to be accredited by the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA). However, the USDLA is not recognized as an accrediting body by the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

- AHUSC is listed as a "diploma mill" by the USDE, meaning its degrees might not be valuable to employers, graduate schools, or other third parties.
