Taft University System

What is the accreditation of Taft University System?

The Distance Education Accrediting Commission, or DEAC, is the institutional accreditor identified for Taft University System. DEAC is a U.S. Department of Education-recognized institutional accreditor of distance-education institutions. Institutional accreditation concerns the institution as a whole; it does not mean that every program holds a separate professional accreditation.

Accreditation is relevant to institutional oversight and can affect eligibility for certain forms of financial aid, but it does not guarantee that another college will accept transfer credits. Likewise, professional licensing authorities set their own rules. Anyone considering a law-related program should verify the specific program's current standing and the admission-to-practice rules in the jurisdiction where they hope to work.

What are the admission requirements at Taft University System?

Taft does not report an open-admission policy. Admission requirements should therefore be checked for the particular degree and applicant category rather than inferred from the institution's distance-learning format.

Before applying, prospective students should obtain the current program application and confirm the required prior credential, official transcripts, any academic minimums, English-language requirements, and whether an interview or written statement is required. A graduate or law applicant should not assume that first-time undergraduate rules apply. Applicants should also confirm the next entry date and the deadline for having all records received.

What are the application fees and waivers at Taft University System?

Applicants should confirm the current application fee in the program's application instructions before submitting payment. An application charge is separate from tuition, course materials, and any enrollment or registration charge.

If paying an application fee would be a hardship, ask the admissions office whether a waiver is offered for the intended program and whether approval must be obtained before submission. Do not assume that a waiver or fee used for one Taft program applies to another.

What types of ROTC programs are available at Taft University System?

Prospective students should not treat Taft's Denver location as evidence of an on-campus Army, Air Force, or Navy ROTC unit. ROTC participation depends on an authorized host institution or cross-enrollment arrangement, not simply on living near a university that offers ROTC.

Anyone seeking to combine a Taft program with officer training should ask the relevant ROTC host whether Taft students can enroll, how the schedule would work, and whether their degree meets commissioning and scholarship rules. ROTC eligibility and any resulting service obligation are determined through the military program.

What are the requirements for transfer students at Taft University System?

Taft reports accepting dual credit, but applicants should not assume that all previous college coursework will transfer or satisfy a particular degree requirement. Admission to a program and the award of transfer credit are separate decisions.

A prospective transfer student should send official transcripts for an individual evaluation and request a written account of which courses count toward the intended credential. Before enrolling, confirm any limits on transferable credits, minimum grades, required Taft coursework, and treatment of examination credit. Reported policies do not establish a general award of credit for Advanced Placement examinations or life experience.

What types of study abroad programs are available at Taft University System?

Taft's distance-education format should not be mistaken for a study-abroad program. Taking online courses while living outside the United States is different from joining an institutionally approved exchange, faculty-led course, or international internship.

Students planning to study from another country should first confirm whether their program permits enrollment from that location. They should also check examination arrangements, time-zone expectations, access to course materials, and any restrictions affecting financial aid or professional licensing.
