Hey, I'm considering applying to Marymount University, but I'm a bit concerned about their accreditation. Is Marymount an accredited institution? If so, who accredits them? I want to make sure my degree will be respected by employers and grad schools. Thanks in advance!
Yes, Marymount University is an accredited institution. It is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award baccalaureate, masters, and doctorate degrees. SACSCOC is a reputable regional accrediting agency that ensures educational quality for institutions in the Southern United States.
Having a degree from an institution accredited by SACSCOC, like Marymount University, will generally be respected by employers and graduate schools, as it signifies that the university has met the standards required by accrediting agencies. Do make sure to check if your desired major or program at Marymount also has field-specific accreditations, if applicable, as those can add further credibility to your degree in the eyes of employers and graduate programs.
Good luck with your college application process!
