국무부에 허가를 받아 각 대학기관을 인준 (Accreditation)하는 대표적인 기관이 지역별로 있으며, 프로그램 특성에 따라 인준기관이 있습니다. 학교에 따라 인준 기관이 다를 수 있으며, 수준이나 레벨이 다를 수 있습니다.

앞으로 정규 대학원을 진학하시려면, 정규 대학원에서 인정하는 대학에서 공부를 하셔야 합니다. 만약 대학원이 인정해주지 않는 대학에서 공부를 하시게 되면, 대학원 입학이 어려울 수 있습니다. 또한, 인준기관의 수준, 레벨에 따라 편입등도 어려울 수 있습니다.

참고로 http://www.ope.ed.gov/accreditation 에서 학교들 인준 정보를 확인해보실 수있습니다.

안녕하세요? 미국 정부 교육국에서 인정하는 기관의 그룹은
크게..두가지로 나뉩니다.
하나는 지역별 학위 인증기관 그룹이며,
다른 하나는 전문학위 인증기관 그룹입니다.
아래의 내용을 참고하시고, 해당되는 그룹의 바디를 선택하시면
진학하고자 하는 학교가 나오게 될 것입니다.
행운을 빕니다.
