That said, if you want to transfer credit or go to a regionally accredited graduate program then you will likely find yourself out of luck. DETC accreditation is most valuable when you're considered vocational/technical programs as a terminal (you won't want to transfer) program. For example: the programs at PCDI/Ashworth are DETC and those I've seen in the vocational category are excellent. Their classes in the associates degree programs won't transfer to your local state university though. Go with regional accreditation if you want to continue your education. DETC is not a regional accreditor. DETC is legit and is recognized by the US Govt.
