No you do not. A school must be accredited by either
the State Board of Education or an agency approved by
the State Board of Education.

Yes it does. NSNSAs not one of them.

No, it does not. It state recognizes that it teaches
post secondary education courses. Which anyone can do
from their living room. It does not mean that those
English courses that I teach have anything to do with
college.

Sorry, that certificate is not even recognized by
state statue. It is simply stating that it teachers
postsecondary classes. Intro basket weaving at the
YMCA is postsecondary classes as well. They are
however, not college level courses.

TRTRACSs not an acaccreditinggency approved by the
SBSBOEIt is no more legally meaningful then if you or
I formed a club and set own acaccreditingtstandards

Yes it does. You bet it does. The SBSBOEs the
authority on matters of education and exexplicitlys
given authority in state statue to regulate and set
standards of education in the state of Idaho or
operating out of the state of Idaho, both private and
public.

UIUIill only take credits from a nationally accredited
college or university recognized by the SBSBOEr
another Idaho State institution accredited by the
SBSBOEAnd it does not even have to take those if it
does not want to. I have had credits from NINIChrown
out at UIUInd had to retake the same class because the
number or the name of the course was different.

As I said, that is the BACHELOR program. That means
you are already a nurse. Different program. It is the
RN and LPLPRrograms that make you a nurse. But you
know, I am willing to bet an email would be too
chchallengingo confirm this fact, right?

Take Care,
