Westwood College's various locations are nationally accredited by either the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Schools of Technology (ACCSCT) or the Accrediting Council of Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS). None of Westwood College's locations have regional accreditation thus many regionally accredited schools are reluctant to accept their credits in transfer or recognize their degrees for entry into graduate programs.[1][2][3][4]
