Ever hear of them?

We Answered:

Utterly useless and disreputable "diploma mill."

Kennedy-Western is not accredited by any reputable accreditation association. It can't even get accredited by Distance Education accreditors.

Stay away.

Any suggestions about Kennedy Western University online programs?

Good grief, Kennedy Western is not only not accredited, but they've also been taken to court for fraud. No respectable employer would take anything from them seriously.

RUN!

Info on Warren National University?

We Answered:

Warren National University is an unaccredited school. The State of Oregon lists it as a Diploma Mill.

A degree from an unaccredited school has the exact same value as if you printed your own diploma – put another way it has the same value as a blank piece of paper. It wouldn’t make any sense to go to an unaccredited school, since there are so many legit schools that offer online or even correspondence programs. Think of it this way: If you are just looking for knowledge, wouldn’t it be much cheaper to just buy text books from Amazon and teach yourself? This way you would never have to explain why you chose a diploma mill over a legit school.

Most unaccredited schools are diploma mills. In order for a school to become accredited it has to open itself up to an accrediting agency and have its programs, practices and so on reviewed. So, if a school’s not accredited, that indicates that either it was not willing to open itself to review or its programs were not of sufficient value to be accredited.

In America there are two types of accreditation: regional and national. Regional accreditation is the highest level a school can achieve and with so many options available to you, there’s no valid reason why you should choose anything less than a regionally accredited school - even Harvard University has programs online now.
