    That certainly sounds like a classic Diploma Mill SCAM.

    What study do you have to do ? What tests to prove your level of knowledge do you have to do. How many years have you studied toward the degree. Where did your under grad degree come from ?

    You can not merely pay money and get a certificate without testing or study.

    Also I reviewed their web site and they charge over 5000 dollars for their degrees. They offer a "certificate" but I have no idea what that is, since it is not a degree

    I looked all over their website for a curriculum and found nothing. How can you select a university program without any clue as to the content of their courses?

    And if in the US, they did not appear to be accredited by the Department of Education which is required for many certifications and jobs. ** not for all of course.

    Corllins University is a scam. The company is very deceptive and hides behind several domains.

    Online-Education-Facts-Online.com, Speedy-Degrees.com, University-College.com, Corllinsuniversity.net, CrollinsUniversity.com, CrollinsUniversityreviews.com, Universaldegrees.com, corllinsuniversity.blogspot.com

    In addition, they are the same owners of the follow "Universities":

    Ashwood University, Corllins University, Rochville University, Lorenz University, Hill University.

    This company is based in Pakistan and was originally formed in Saudi Arabia. These guys are doing nothing more then selling worthless paper. There is no review of your background or experiences. They simply sell you a paper degree that has no value to your employer at all. They do not have any accreditations and do not provide employer verification of your experiences and skills.

    I would stand clear of ALL these sites and domains. Look for a reputable company. You will need it when your employer starts asking questions.

    'If an institution is not accredited by an agency recognized by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) or the U.S. Department of Education, chances are it's a diploma mill. However, accreditation does not necessarily guarantee legitimacy. There are currently 35 accrediting agencies in the United States that are not recognized by the Department of Education or CHEA and that will put their stamp of approval on just about any program with no questions asked. In many cases, the accrediting agencies in question are merely self-serving organizations set up by the diploma mills themselves. "

    So yea, it is a diploma mill.

    That's right, "life experience" degrees are laughed at by employers.
