No longer a distinction between national and regional accreditors

[allvia]

You'll notice that even the article puts the word “Regional” in quantitation marks. When we refer to RA here on this forum, we mean one of those accreditors listed - it doesn't actually mean a map area or region that they accredit.  These RA having the ability to go national (international in some cases) are still in a very different class than any National Acceditor (NA).  RA still wins out.  Drexel has a good page on the subject -  https://www.online.drexel.edu/news/natio...ation.aspx
