The main reason is that the United States Department of Education does not accredit universities, but there are six regional alliances in the United States that provide accreditation. Universities in different regions belong to different accreditation bodies, namely, schools accredited by six major alliances, namely, New England (NEASC), Central China (MSA), North China and Central China (NCA), South China (SACS), Northwest China (NCCU) and West China (WASC). These schools have a long history and belong to comprehensive universities or colleges. Common famous schools such as Harvard, Stanford and MIT. All belong to the six major leagues, and every year US News &；; The World Report will rank according to the school's evaluation.
ACICS can be called independent colleges or city colleges, and some are called specialized vocational colleges.
These schools mainly evaluate non-comprehensive universities or colleges with small scale and short history, and generally focus on community colleges. But this kind of school is just an office building and has no campus. It is often said that studying abroad is controversial. This is what I read in this kind of school.
And many people don't know that some schools in ACICS are "not recognized by the six major league schools".
Metaphor: You are an undergraduate in ACICS school. After graduation, you should apply for master's degree in six major leagues or master's degree in other countries.
Tell you what: many good schools fail to apply, and then you will know that you have studied in vain.
To choose American schools, you must choose six major league schools, including ranked and non-ranked, and there are also several universities and colleges. In short, the safest thing is to find a top-ranked school to study correctly.
