Henley-Putnam University Accreditation
Henley-Putnam University is nationally accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC). What does this mean for YOU?
What is DETC? The Distance Education and Training Council Accrediting Commission (“DETC”) is the premier accrediting authority of distance learning serving more than 100 accredited institutions worldwide including the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, and U.S. Marine Corps distance training institutes. Today, over 3 million students around the globe are served by DETC member institutions.
IS DETC Recognized? Yes. The Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council is listed by the U.S. Department of Education as a nationally recognized accrediting agency, and is a recognized member of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
Is DETC recognized by private corporate employers? Yes. Thousands of companies listed on the DETC website have provided tuition assistance to employees who have been students at DETC institutions. Institutions include major Fortune 500 companies such as defense contractors, technology companies, and financial institutions.
Is DETC equal to regional accreditation? Yes, according, to the U.S. Department of Education. Not only must DETC institutions such as Henley-Putnam meet the same standards as applied by the regional accreditors, but DETC, given its vastly greater experience with distance learning, applies tougher standards for distance learning.
Do DETC institutions provide good service? Yes. Students of DETC institutions are very satisfied with their experiences. According to sample surveys in 2007 of graduates of all DETC institutions, 95% reported they achieved their learning goals and 97% reported they would recommend their alma mater to others. According to data from the independent clearinghouse www.onlinedegreereviews.com, 40% of the top five colleges in their ratings database that have consistently received excellent reviews from students are DETC accredited institutions.
