So does that mean this statement on Blackwell's website is a lie? I don't know where to check these things. Who is responsible for accrediting institutions in Florida?

"Blackwell Global University is an American university located in Orlando, Florida. It offers accredited master's and degree degrees online and on campus."

This is clearly and better

Thanks! This was very helpful. 

So the Florida Commission for Independent Education is not a recognized institutional accreditor  .


It looks like Blackwell has not been truthful in the way it has positioned itself. It is confusing being licensed with being accredited.

Blackwell Global University is an American university located in Orlando, Florida. It offers accredited master's and degree degrees online and on campus.

Blackwell Global University is licensed by the Florida Commission for Independent Education (CIE), License #3985. CIE is responsible for licensing non-public post-secondary educational institutions in the state of Florida and can be reached at: 325 W Gaines St, Suite 1414 Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0400 | 850-245-3200.(http://www.fldoe.org/policy/cie/)

This is the insidiousness and scam of many fake schools. All a state license is is a piece of paper from the State's Secretary of State giving you a license to operate. Anyone can get incorporated and licensed.

For example: say you go to barbering and cosmetology school. You graduate with your barbering certificate. Now you want to open a shop. All you have to do is file Articles of Incorporation with the Sec of State's office, get incorporated, file your license request with the proper Barber/Cosmetology State Board (who verifies your education from a recognized school), and you are licensed and incorporated to open your Barber Shop. After that, you then have to ensure you meet the operational requirements of the State Health Department, when offering any services to humans e.g, haircare, chemicals, nail salon, skin care, massages, etc., (a Health & Safety Regulatory Requirement).  

The lie they tell in these schools, is that a "state license" is equal to accreditation. IT IS NOT! And has been so eloquently put above by SlammX, if the school is not RA or NA by a recognized agency, they are a fraud and NOT accredited.

One of the best tell-tale signs of REAL accreditation (with a very small handful of exceptions) is whether the school offers Title IV Financial Aid. Only under very limited scenarios of vocational schools and limited licensing schools that don't offer Financial Aid, most legitimate schools that are accredited offer Title IV Financial Aid. 

Those two websites above are GREAT resources that can absolutely clarify the differences and give clear details on the subject of accreditation and recognized agencies both in the USA and Abroad. Especially if many overseas schools are cheaper than US schools and are recognized as internationally-accredited schools by their respective governments.
