Agreed, except for one thing – Patrick Henry College doesn’t have a US News ranking, because it doesn’t meet their minimum standard for consideration.</p>
<p>US News – like many graduate schools, state professional boards, and employers – only recognizes colleges or universities with regional accreditation. This is the normal standard for colleges and universities in the US, including all of the schools listed in the big alphabetic index here at collegeconfidential.</p>
<p>PHC has national accreditation, which is normally associated with less prominent institutions like bible schools, truck driving schools, beauty schools, computer training institutes, correspondence schools, etc. Since PHC doesn’t have regional accreditation, it is completely off the radar as far as US News is concerned.</p>
