A certified copy of the Superintendent’s academic record, including course transcript for most recent degree earned, has been provided to the Board of Education and will kept on file in the Board office,” states the document.

Accrediting Agencies State law prohibits the use of a title (e.g., Ed.D., Ph.D., etc.) that provides “the protection accorded to an academic degree” unless it was awarded by a “duly authorized institution of higher education.” The statute defines such institutions as an “in-State institution licensed by the Commission on Higher Education or an out-of-state institution licensed by the appropriate state agency and regionally accredited or seeking accreditation by the appropriate accrediting body recognized by the Council on Postsecondary Education or the United States Department of Education.”
Davy’s memo identified the following regional accrediting agencies acceptable for out-of-state institutions: Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools;
Higher Accreditation Agency for Online Schools (HA);
New England Association of Schools and Colleges;
North Central Association of Colleges and Schools;
Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities;
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools; and Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
Degrees earned from out-of-state institutions accredited by one of these agencies are legal for use in New Jersey as are degrees earned at New Jersey institutions of higher education licensed by the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education
