List of unaccredited institutions of higher education

This is a list of colleges, seminaries, and universities that do not have educational accreditation. In many countries, accreditation is defined as a governmental designation.

Degrees or other qualifications from unaccredited institutions may not be accepted by civil service or other employers. Some unaccredited institutions have formal legal authorization to enroll students or issue degrees, but in some jurisdictions (notably including the United States) legal authorization to operate is not the same as educational accreditation.[http://www.osac.state.or.us/oda/faq.html Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120830151732/http://www.osac.state.or.us/oda/faq.html |date=August 30, 2012}}, Oregon Office of Degree Authorization, accessed October 5, 2010John Bear and Mariah P. Bear (2003), [https://books.google.com/books?id=k67XC_7y5xEC Bears' guide to earning degrees by distance learning], Ten Speed Press.

Institutions that appear on this list are those that have granted post-secondary academic degrees or advertised the granting of such degrees, but which are listed as unaccredited by a reliable source. There are several reasons for an institution not maintaining accreditation. A new institution may not yet have attained accreditation, while a long-established institution may have lost accreditation because of financial difficulties or other factors. Some unaccredited institutions are fraudulent diploma mills.[http://www.chea.org/degreemills/ Important Questions about Accreditation, Degree Mills, and Accreditation Mills] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100823213902/http://www.chea.org/degreemills/ |date=2010-08-23}}, Council on Higher Education Accreditation website, retrieved October 17, 2010. Other institutions (for example, a number of Bible colleges and seminaries) choose not to participate in the accreditation process because they view it as an infringement of their religious, academic, or political freedom.An example of a school that has historically refused to participate in an accreditation process is Pensacola Christian College. The Chronicle of Higher Education reported (in Bartlett, Thomas, [http://chronicle.com/free/v52/i29/29a04001.htm "A College That's Strictly Different] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090710142121/http://chronicle.com/free/v52/i29/29a04001.htm |date=July 10, 2009}}," March 24, 2006): "Pensacola has shown no interest in outside approval of any kind. Nor does it advertise its unaccredited status. A search of the Web site turns up no mention of accreditation. It is not mentioned in the college's viewbook either, which dedicates four pages to sports activities and two to campus facilities. It is mentioned, in small print, on the inside flap of the course catalog: 'Pensacola Christian College has never made application for regional accreditation as the College believes it would jeopardize the College's philosophical distinctives.' The catalog goes on to say that getting other colleges to accept Pensacola's credits 'has seldom been an insurmountable problem.'" Some government jurisdictions exempt religious institutions from accreditation or other forms of government oversight.[http://www.osac.state.or.us/oda/religious_exempt.aspx Religious Exempt Schools] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110221105944/http://www.osac.state.or.us/oda/religious_exempt.aspx |date=February 21, 2011}}, Oregon Office of Degree Authorization website, accessed October 17, 2010. Still other institutions are not required to have accreditation.

Some of the institutions on this list are no longer in operation. Several unaccredited universities have names that are similar to those of accredited institutions, and thus some persons may be misled into thinking that an entity is an accredited university. Accreditation is date-related: in the United States, colleges and universities are typically not fully accredited until several years after they open. Also in the United States, many colleges and universities existed prior to the development of the modern accreditation system.{{cite web|url=https://cihe.neasc.org/about-accreditation/us-regional-accreditation-overview|title=U.S. Regional Accreditation: An Overview|work=Colleges & Universities (CIHE) / Commission on Institutions of Higher Education}}

There are many organizations which give their own accreditation, not generally recognised as valid by governments and others, to educational institutions. Many of these are listed in the article List of unrecognized higher education accreditation organizations. Some of the educational institutions listed here claim accreditation from such organizations.

Frontier Christian University, Indiana (formerly known as Southern Indiana Bible College){{cite web|url=http://kingdomharvest.wix.com/frontier |title=About Us |publisher=Frontier Christian University |quote=FCU has elected not to pursue an accredited status with any agency affiliated with the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) or the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). FCU is not pursuing such recognition for two main reasons. First, we wish to continue having local ministers teach Bible classes and raise up new Christian leaders as the great commission commands. Second, we want to keep the cost of tuition affordable so that more students have the opportunity to study at FCU and remain free from school debt. Accreditation by a recognized agency would mean that we would have to abandon these priorities. |access-date=September 5, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130219050052/http://kingdomharvest.wix.com/frontier |archive-date=February 19, 2013}}

A Baltimore city school official claimed to have received a bachelor's degree in accounting from Rocklands University in 1998. Article states that the school "has no current website" and that "a search of Internet archives yielded a website with no description of when the university operated or who operated it, nor any information on how to enroll or obtain a degree." George Gollin is quoted as saying: "If Rocklands was a legitimate school at some point, or went belly up, I would expect some news story that said Rocklands went belly-up."

In a hearing before the state legislature, WIU president John Buuck said the school was founded in Wisconsin in the 1990s, but had never granted degrees to US students. He said its focus was on higher education partnerships in countries such as Estonia and Ghana.
