it looks like a legit school, however you may want to be careful although stratford is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) most employers want accreditation from one of the 6 regional accreditation agencies these are The Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools; The New England Association of Schools & Colleges; The North Central Association of Colleges and Schools; The Northwest Association Of Schools And Colleges; The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools; The Western Association of Schools and Colleges. without one of these agencies it will be difficult for your degree to be accecpted.
I've been trying to do my research on it, but can't find much. I would REALLY appreciate it if you guys could feel me in on Stratford as far as it being a well accredited University.

I really couldn't find anything with reguards to the University being accredited but the culinary arts has it to where you could get an AA so I stoped my search what you could do is get in contact with the Better Business Bureau and ask them about this University okay. I have listed the web address below, Good Luck with your search!!
