List of Unaccredited Universities in USA



Students beware!! This is a list of colleges, universities, and other institutions that do not have educational accreditation from US Government. Some of these institutions may have legal authority to enroll students and grant degrees, but do not have educational accreditation for various reasons. Others are diploma mills that mislead customers and grant fake degrees.

This list is not complete, but we are doing our best to keep it up-to-date. By using it, you understand that we do not guarantee its accuracy. It is just one of many tools that help us identify fraudulent educational credentials.
