Campuses and facilities
Places where teaching actually happens. Teaching hospitals, clinics, farms and laboratories are stated per campus, only as published.
This institution teaches online only; it is not listed as physically present in any state or city.
Accreditation, evaluation and recognition
Recorded per program and campus, with the authority’s role. Accreditation, professional validation, degree-awarding authority and eligibility toward registration are different things; none of them is full professional registration, and a qualification accepted in one jurisdiction is not automatically accepted elsewhere.
