  I also noticed that they are a non-profit, which gives me a bit more confidence. I'd still be uncomfortable advising someone to pay $20k for an unaccredited program.

    You do realize there are millions of college students who pay $200k over 4 years to attend accredited programs that graduate with no discernible skills, right?

      There are barely millions of students paying $200k, much less millions paying that much for "no discernable skills". That's at the upper end of people paying full sticker price for private schools. And it's unlikely someone makes it through a 4 year program with no skills whatsoever. And I wouldn't recommend a $200k degree to anyone either unless it's from an elite university where the signaling and networking is worth it. Also top tier universities almost universally offer income based financial aid.

    You’re placing faaaar too much weight in accreditation

      It's a minimum standard that enforces some level of transparency and accountability, and it means that you can generally find somewhere else to transfer to that will accept your credits. You also might want to disclose that you are the founder of Lambda School.
