Institutional Accreditation
Institutional accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) means your degree comes from a top-quality, trusted university.
I chose CSU Global because it had a great, flexible schedule for me to not only go to school full-time but also continue my full-time job without the added stress of attending class in a physical classroom or traveling to another city or state.
My goal when I started at CSU Global was to take what I already knew about IT & managing others and expand on this knowledge ten-fold. This allowed me to explore other career options within the IT realm.
