Please Help!-I Was Told My Prereq Will Not Transfer Because of School Accreditation

[DMMNursing]

I'm upset because I am taking a nutrition class which is required for my Master's in Nursing but I just found out that it will not transfer because the school (Huntington college of health sciences) is accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) which is only a national accreditation. This school offers a Biochemistry class as well, and that is another class I need but it is very hard to find it elsewhere!

What should I do? Any suggestions? I still have 4 science classes to go before Spring matriculation excluding the nutrition.

Do you think Western University of Pomona would waive this class if I had earned an undergrad degree in Medical Assistant, and some good experience in the medical field?.. I am all confused right now.

(for all news students please make sure you check this website http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/ before you start your prereqs and look for regional accreditation otherwise you might be wasting your time!!!!!)

Thank you for your suggestions in advance

I would seek pre-reqs at an accredited school only. Why would they waive your classes that may not fit their requirements when they have plenty of students applying who do have accredited classes?

Only take classes at regionally accredited schools!! And it's highly unlikely the school will grant you a waiver because you have a diploma in medical assisting. You could try to take these classes online if you can't find them in your area.

You just need to attend an accredited university. Schools that sent fully accredited are fine if you plan on graduating from there and never pursuing any higher degree, but if that's not the case, you need to be elsewhere. Nutrition should be offered at any community college and biochemistry should be offered at any 4 year university.

Go forth.

...there are HUGE lists right now and all the cleaning out of the "accredited-ish" schools is bombing community colleges on top of the 4 year university schools. You might be able to challenge the denyal if you can prove that your class description is eqal to their school's, I did this a few times since completing classes for "tech" skills (like emergency medical terminology) could count towards a fourmal degree. Any other options people could suggest out there apart from military? International?
