Hello, international student here.
After my bachelor degree, i’d like to apply for a MSc in Forensic Science. I already have a list of my top universities but on the American Academy of Forensic Science website i saw a list of universities accredited by them (FEPAC) and then a general list with all the others not accredited.

Now, on my list there are many unis accredited but big coincidence my number one, Drexel U, is not.

So i wanted to ask you if you know how much is this accreditation important for the university and consequently for the student who graduates from there.

Thank you!
