What this means
Rutgers University is accredited and your degree counts.
Because Rutgers University holds Continuing accreditation from CAHIIM, graduates of this bachelor's degree are eligible to sit for AHIMA's RHIA (Registered Health Information Administrator) exam. That eligibility is the whole reason CAHIIM accreditation matters: without a CAHIIM-accredited degree, the exam is closed to you.
