Accreditation

So, the issue of accreditation is pretty important to me when picking a prospective masters program. My commonsense tells me that I should only be looking at programs that are accredited because I am earning a masters for practical, rather than academic, reasons. The problem is that I am also considering location when choosing a graduate program. The University of Delaware is not accredited, but if I am going to live and work in Delaware for the next twenty years, is it better to have a non-accredited degree and familiarity with the location, or an accredited degree from a far-away location? I am also having this problem with going to San Diego State, which again is not accredited.

Thanks for any feedback
