Will Saylor's MBA program be nationally or regionally accredited in the future?

[midnite123]

Basically, you currently have an unaccredited degree (or at the very best, a state approved degree) from Saylor and it will remain that way unless otherwise noted by them.  Even if they do get NA or RA status, you can't use yours or reference it as an accredited degree until they update that within your records.  Some institutions will update the degree if the contents haven't changed when they get accredited, however, it depends on the institution, some will need you to go through newer regulations (extra class or two).  Congrats for now, wait for accreditation and resubmit request to get the diploma again...

I have lived a long life and have never explained to anyone that a degree is accredited or unaccredited.  My bread and butter degrees are brick and mortar.  Other than to professional associations I have never had to prove to anyone that I actually had any degrees.  There are no degree police.  A degree from a formerly unaccredited school that subsequently becomes accredited has an air of legitimacy worth exploiting.  The poo is unlikely to hit the fan like a never accredited school.

     I agree with you.
Plus you can list anything on your biz card or resume.
If an employer has a question, that's up to them to ask you about it.
But,
like you said most employers do not ask about accredited or not.
    The main point really is:
you never claimed a particular degree is accredited.

Well that might be true for the US - in most EU-Jurisdictions it would be illegal to use a "degree" from a non-accrediated institution.
E.g. in Germany You may use any foreign degree, as long as it ist considered a valid degree in the country of origin and you must state where you got it from - like "John Doe, M.A. (UMPI, USA)". Even just using a non-accrediated "degree" on you biz card to "impress" businesspartners could be considered a crime, punishable with up to one year in prison over here. And putting that on your resume or CV could be considered fraudulent if that "degree" leads to you getting falesly hired- so don't even think about it ;-)

So using a real UI1-degree (most likely ENEB with UI1-certification wouldn't be enough) would be OK, since you may use it in Spain. Using a Saylor's MBA would for sure be a big No-No.

I see.
That makes sense .
In the US,
I do not think there are any crimes connected to an unaccredited degree.
