Concord Law School Accreditation

A Degree-Granting Institution

Concord Law School is approved as a degree-granting institution in the State of California by the Bureau of Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education. Approval means the law school and its operation comply with standards established by California law for private postsecondary institutions.

Concord's unique method of delivering instruction - via the Internet without a fixed classroom facility - places it in the correspondence school category under California law. While the California Committee of Bar Examiners and the American Bar Association do not accredit correspondence schools, the California Committee of Bar Examiners registers correspondence schools. Concord Law School is registered with the California Committee of Bar Examiners permitting its graduates to apply for admission to the California Bar.

DETC Accreditation

Additionally, Concord is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC).* The DETC Accrediting Commission is listed by the U.S. Department of Education as a nationally recognized accrediting agency and is a recognized member of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

The DETC Accrediting Commission is one of fourteen higher education accrediting bodies recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Incorporated into the DETC's accrediting process is the concept that educational programs delivered at a distance should be comparable (in curriculum and outcomes) to those offered by accredited traditional residential universities. DETC accredited institutions and their programs are evaluated on this basis within its published educational and ethical business standards.
