Is An Online Degree From Kaplan Online University Accredited And Recongized By Employers As A Real Degree?
Looking to go back to school for medical billing and coding but need to work also, how legit are the online schools and are the degree’s given accepted by employee’s or do they take the online degree as a joke?
Please help….

Regardless of delivery method (on ground, online, hybrid), a higher ed institution in the US can have 3 institutional accreditation statuses.
1. Regionally accredited - the highest and most useful.
2. Nationally accredited - real, but not as recognized or useful. Yes it is less than regional accreditation, which isn’t intuitive.
3. Unaccredited
Kaplan is regionally accredited, so you will be fine there. We are one of the largest employers in the state and accept all regionally accredited degrees.
Acceptance is very high at the associates level of courses online since it is very vocational. I wouldn’t recommend an online doctorate on the other end though.
If in doubt, look at the job ads for the position you are seeking.
I am not sure but your safer taking those courses from a community college and save money. in a community college your courses are transferable, no worries
Accredited? Yes
Respected? No
