I'm looking into Capella University, but I'm wondering about their accreditation. Do they hold regional accreditation, and if so, which organization accredits them?
Capella University is indeed regionally accredited. They are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), which is considered one of the six regional accrediting bodies recognized by the US Department of Education. This means that Capella University has met certain standards in terms of its educational offerings and institutional operations. Regional accreditation is generally seen as more prestigious than national accreditation and often leads to greater acceptance of credits earned and degrees conferred when transferring to other institutions or pursuing further education.
