I can dump in a box and mark it accredited if you want. Who is doing the accreditation?

Here is a description of the accreditation for the International Accreditation Agency for Online Universities which is the body that deemed Belford as "accredited."

The International Accreditation Agency for Online Universities (IAAOU) is a self-styled "accreditation" board based in the United States. It has no status with the United States Department of Education (USDE) or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).[1] Without USDE and CHEA recognition, its "accreditations" are essentially meaningless.[2]
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has indicated that Rochville University and Belford University, and the agencies from which they claim accreditation, "appear to be operated by the same people

The point is you dismiss those who spent too much money on a university degree and we should have gone the easy way and just bought one. Thos of us with REAL degrees worked hard for these degrees and do not deserve to have them compared with this joke of a "university" or "experience degree."
