| "I think a school can't accredit both its undergrad and graduate degrees, so if the undergraduate degree at your intended school is accredited I don't believe the grad program can also be accredited"
Sorry for the confusion there--my undergraduate degree (engineering physics) is a major that is unaccredited at my school, but the school itself has many accreditations for other majors (the program just started so it takes time to get graduates and get accredited, etc). I am (hopefully) going onto grad school at a different university that is accredited for the program of interest (medical physics). When people look to hire me in the future, the accreditation of my undergraduate degree is meaningless.
That said, accreditation seems relatively unimportant depending on the major. As aibarr said, unless you need licenses then it seems much less important. |
