In my experience, a Masters always carries more weight than a bachelors. Typically a bachelors = entry to mid-level jobs and a masters = management. (of course that's not always true.. I've been in management but I'm in sales, so it's a little different.
That being said, I'm not sure that I would want to spend any money on an unaccredited school. It just sounds way too risky. Regardless of your experience in the industry, when you're getting hired, you usually have to go through a background check once you've been given the offer letter. No matter how much they want to hire you, you'll need to pass. The third parties that do the background checks really are getting tougher. Believe me, they will check your education and will list that it's an unaccredited school. You don't want to have people discount a degree that you worked hard for.
Is there another option? I would keep looking and see if I could find another placae to get my masters.
