How many are regionally accredited? [/quote]

There are roughly 4,000 accredited colleges/universities in the USA.[/quote]

How many are [b]regionally accredited[/b]?[/quote]

Colleges in general are regionally accredited.  I think you mean are categorized as regional rather than national institutions.  [b]USNWR I think lists around 300 or so national institutions.[/b]

And "regional" doesn't necessarily mean low quality--for instance up until the last year or two James Madison University was categorized as a regional university (it's been recently recharacterized as national).  Towson is also considered a regional school in this area.  Plenty of parents rightly consider these excellent options.

Editing--300 or so national universities and a similar number of national liberal arts colleges--so it's more like 600-700.  Not sure exactly, but at least around there.[/quote]
