Here is how it works.... if you go to a University that is accredited than for most companies that is good enough.... there is no real difference on the Universities.....Some major firms and organizations will only pull from Ivy League institutions (harvard, yale, etc..), and some might use what they call a top ten tier list.... which ranks the the Universities in a certain order.... Most universities including main ones for states don't even make the top ten tier list.....that does not mean the degree is pointles... well known universities like ASU don't even make the top ten tier...

With that being said the majority of the people going to school are not going to go work for places that require Ivy league education, besides those organizations that require that are few and far between... even more so now as experience along with the education is becoming more of a requirement....

so as long as the university is accredited it doesn't matter. That is the whole reason it is accredited because the agency makes sure they are teaching students to a certain acedemic level. below are the main ones that seperate the US into categories by states.... each of these entities have a portion of the US and monitor the institution for accreditation.

MSA - Middle States Commission on Higher Education
NASC - Northwest Association of Schools and of Colleges and Universities
NCA - Higher Learning Commission of North Central Region
NEASC - New England Association of Schools and Colleges
SACS - Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
WASC - Western Association of Schools and Colleges

One last thing to add, is that if someone says that they don't recognize your degree that is recognized by these above entities...who do they think they are??? Do they think they know something better than the entity that is designed to measure acedemic achievement??? It would be narrow mindedness that thinks along the lines of "if you didn't go to the same school as me, you don't know shit" To me there are Ivy leagues, and accreditated Universities and non accreditated.... certain places are better than others at learning certain things no doubt, but don't get caught up in any other nonsense. go to an accreditated University that fits into your scheduel...
