* Regional Accreditation: NCU holds regional accreditation from the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC), which is a highly respected regional accrediting agency. This is generally considered the most prestigious type of accreditation for US universities. Regional accreditation means that credits earned at NCU are generally transferable to other regionally accredited institutions.
* Not National Accreditation: It's important to note that there's a difference between regional and national accreditation. National accreditation is less common and often associated with less rigorous standards. NCU does *not* have national accreditation.
Therefore, while NCU is accredited and recognized by a reputable regional accrediting body, always verify that the accreditation is current and fits your needs before enrolling. You can independently verify NCU's accreditation status on the WSCUC website.
