Hi, I was looking into Touro University as a potential school to apply to. Does anyone here know if it's accredited? I appreciate any help!
Yes, Touro University is accredited. Touro University is actually a system consisting of multiple campuses and colleges, so it's crucial to specify which campus you're interested in. However, assuming you are referring to Touro University in California (TUC), it is accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC), which is a regional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
If other Touro campuses or colleges interest you, make sure to check their specific accreditation statuses as well. Accreditation is essential since it indicates that the institution has met established standards for its educational programs, qualifies for federal financial aid, and affects the transferability of credits.
To verify accreditation information for any university, an excellent resource is the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) or the U.S. Department of Education's Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs. These databases can provide you with up-to-date accreditation details for postsecondary institutions across the United States.
