An Accredited Degree
Aspen University is accredited by the Accrediting Commission
of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC).
The Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and
Training Council is listed by the U.S. Department of Education
as a nationally recognized accrediting agency, and is a
recognized member of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation
(CHEA).
Aspen University offers education to students in all 50
states as well as around the globe. Aspen University may
also accept credits from other accredited institutions and
schools outside the USA, so you may be able to finish your
degree faster than you'd thought possible.
Because we're accredited, we must conform to all educational
and business standards of the DETC's accrediting commission,
submit annual reports, and be re-examined every five years.
In addition, any new courses we develop are reviewed by
subject matter experts and approved by the commission.
Additionally, The Colorado Commission on Higher Education
(CCHE),
has authorized Aspen University to operate in Colorado as
a private university under the Degree Authorization Act.
The Colorado Commission on Higher Education is the state
policy and coordinating board for Colorado's higher education
system. The mission of the Commission is to provide access
to high-quality, affordable education for all Colorado residents
that is student-centered, quality driven and performance-based.

For those interested in reading more about national
accreditation, a top Dept. of Defense official wrote
an article in the Sept. 2003 edition of The Military
Educator. Dr. Gary Woods, Chief of DoD's Voluntary
Education Program, makes an excellent case for encouraging
military counselors and education staff to not discourage
students from enrolling in programs offered by institutions
that are nationally accredited versus regionally accredited.

and Accreditation here.
