GAAP (Generally Accepted Accreditation Principles)
A school that meets any one of these would be GAAP:

2. Listed in the Commonwealth Universities Yearbook.
3. Accredited by an agency recognized by the Council on Higher
Education
Accreditation in Washington.
4. Accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S. Dept. of of
Education.
5. Listed in the World Education Series, published by PIER, the
Project in

And, as John has reported after his latest sojurn to the AACRO annual
meeting (college registrars), almost NO ONE accepts the International
Handbook, and nearly every registrar on the planet recognizes that St.
Kitts accreditation is worthless.

Ergo, Since Berne relies on both for its legitimacy, the degree is almost
worthless. If you're looking for a legitimate DL degree, I suggest
posting to degreeinfo.com with your intended area of study, and you'll
get some suggestions for legitimate, accredited programs that will never
require explanation or apology.
