I couldn’t find if they were regionally or nationally accredited

If I remember correctly, they have an agreement with lots of different UN member states. So they are accredited by various states. However, which specific accreditation the US gave them is probably a question you should ask them via email.

Seems like NA/RA doesn't apply to this university. The right side of the page says "University for Peace" and all the email domain names are upeace. My hunch is that the university is based out of Costa Rica, because the first MA program said you can attend the class face-to-face in Costa Rica.

They are registered in Costa Rica: Universidad para la Paz

Maybe it's just me, I don't like how you have to go out of your way to figure which university is hosting the degree. It's obvious they got UN backing and sponsorship (and maybe full funding), but I think they could've been more transparent about who they are.

They set it up wrong.
Application requires detailed info on your passport, despite applying for the ONLINE program.
Will pass for now...

Like why. I can think of a million other ways to spend 9k versus spending it on a dubious degree.
