Always keep your eyes open to recognizing diploma mills and phony degree programs. Here is a list of points to keep in mind before choosing your course with any college or university.
– The Department of Education releases a list of accredited universities and educational institutions both at the regional and national level. Ensure the institutions in your list find a place in it.
– Those institutions which are not recognized by the Department of Education will not be considered by the US Higher Education.
– Kindly set aside those universities and institutions whose claims are not reasonable. We know that an Associate degree program will take a minimum of 2 years to complete and Bachelors degree program a duration of not less than 3 years. While Masters Degree Program can be complete within a time frame of 3 years, a Doctorate program will take around 2 to 3 years. Those claims which promise to offer a degree for a period much less than these are fake degree courses or the so called Diploma mills.
– Advertisements offering you “ Life Experience Degrees ”, “ Guaranteed Degree Certificates ”, “ Accredited Degree Courses ”, “ No GPA Scores Required ”, “ and Real Degree Programs ” are only indicators of suspicion and not promise. Your duty is to check for the claims and ensure you have spotted the right degree program.
– Phony degree programs are often so pleasing and assuring that you will hardly have a reason to doubt their legitimacy.
– The names used by these false degree programs resemble more of highly reputed institutions and more often than normal students get carried away by their names.
– Where an university or online educational institution offer degrees for a price, with no experience or even a minimum hours of study, be sure they are diploma mills and such phony degree though might be easier to procure will only result in wasting your time and money.
If you think employers and universities will not be able to identify, whether the degree acquired by you is legitimate or not then you are entirely wrong. They can easily cross check the details furnished by you with the accredited list published by the US Department of Education.
