Asked by nu3ndo
I'm not sure if it's ok to do so, but a majority of people think its ok. I was looking to get a bachelors degree majoring in network security. I found an online school called Western Governors University. Western Governors University is regionally accredited by four institutions, Western Association of Schools and Colleges Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, Western Association of Schools and Colleges Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities, Northwest Association of Schools and of Colleges and Universities Commission on Colleges and Universities, North Central Association of Colleges and Schools of Higher Learning Commission, which is four of the major accrediting commissions recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. The reason why I want to do it online is because I found no program around my area that teaches network security. If you have any suggestions please feel free to respond.

Western Governors University is regionally accredited. Since the other people didn't know this, you can check accreditation on any school in the U.S. at the CHEA (Council for Higher Education Accreditation) website. If the school is acceptable to the US Department of Education, it will be listed in their database. www.chea.org/search/search.asp WGU is considered a pretty good school. The only downside is they charge a flat rate tuition for six months. It doesn't matter if you only take one class or four classes, you pay the same price.
