Question
I earned my B.S. in Chemistry from a normal regionally accredited university. I would like to pursue my M.S. in Nutrition at Huntington. Would a degree from there be recognized as legit? Would a regionally accredited university let me teach nutrition at their school with a degree from here like they would a graduate from their school? Thanks, I just don't want to waste my money. My plan is to earn my M.S., start my own consulting business, and teach on the side in colleges.
What do you think of Huntington's M.S. program??

Answer
Whether a regionally accredited school would let you teach at their school from a DETC accredited school (which is what Huntington is) is entirely up to the school. Most likely they will, but again, it's up to them. As far as traditionally oriented schools in nutrition, I prefer University of Bridgeport's online MS in Human Nutrition to Huntington's program.
