In response to earlier posts regarding ISSA's credibility, reputation & accreditation...
The International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) has just become the first U.S.-based fitness organization to earn national accreditation from a federally recognized accrediting agency–the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC)–the standard-setting agency for distance education institutions.

The United States Department of Education lists the Accrediting Commission of the DETC as a nationally recognized accrediting agency. The Secretary of Education is required by law to publish a list of nationally recognized accrediting agencies. These agencies have been determined by the Secretary to reliably evaluate the quality of education provided by institutions of higher education.
The Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) also recognizes the Accrediting Commission of the DETC. CHEA is a private nonprofit national organization that coordinates accreditation activity in the United States. Recognition by CHEA affirms that the standards and processes of accrediting organizations are consistent with the quality, improvement, and accountability expectations of the CHEA. As with the US Department of Education, DETC accreditation meets these standards. (It’s worthwhile to note that NCCA accreditation does not qualify.)

The ISSA under title 38 U.S. Code is approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education (BPPVE), as of June 15, 2002. This approval is granted in accordance with the responsibilities delegated to the BPPVE under Title 38, Chapter 36, U.S. Code Sections 3671(a) and 3672(a).
This qualifies ISSA students for MGIB tuition reimbursement.
