I'm try to decide about online college and I keep finding all sorts of information about a college must be accredited. What does this mean? how does it help me?

A lot can be said about this issue.

However:

1. Accrediation is a voluntary process, but it gives your degree credibility, and enables you to use it for further education, as well as employment, without "ugly questions" being asked

2. Point 1 assumes NA or RA accrediation

3. Accrediation is not equal with quality. Non-accredited institutions can provide just as good curriculums and education as accredited institutions. However; degress from these institutions have limited usage for further education, as well as employment

4. Accrediation is a lot about money, and a lot of individuals have made a hobby out of harassing other individuals that do not adhere to their interpretation of "accrediation reality". Say no more.

"Youth is like spring, an over praised season more remarkable for biting winds than genial breezes. Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in
fruits." - Samuel Butler

Accredetation is very important whether Distance Learning or in class. It is the measurement of quality education in the world.
