[quote=Anonymous]I graduated from NU and Medill on the 1980s. Even back then, accreditation was an issue--mostly for those outside NU. We were told at the time that an issue was the Teaching Newspaper program, in which undergraduate students did mandatory internships during the school year at daily newspapers around the country. Word was that the accrediting body at that time didn't like the generous amount of academic credit given for the internships. Yet that program was the key reason many students chose Medill then, so the school wasn't particularly concerned about threats to its accreditation. The internships were invaluable to students like me.

I'm not sure if that internship program is still in use at Medill. I just offer the story as an example of how Medill has always done its own thing and how the loss of accreditation is not a big deal with students.

Read the article in the link. It noted that Medill accreditation has come and gone over the years. I would think any prospective Medill student wouldn't care.[/quote]
