    This is a post from Curlyben, one of the Experts here, on online degrees:

    Advice on Avoiding Degree Mills

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    When signing up for any kind of higher education program, especially online, you must ask yourself if you are entering a Degree Mill program.

    There a number of questions you should always ask yourself:

    Is the College accredited with a lawful body ?
    Is the course load right for the subject you are studying ?
    Are they asking for a large sum of money upfront ?
    Does the site look too polished to be true ?
    Does Google produce any independant information about the staff and facilities ?
    Does it all sound too easy ??

    Here's a great piece from Oregon Office of Degree Authorization: Office of Degree Authorization - Diploma Mills

    One of the best pieces I have found is an excellent presentation from the University of Illinois: Degree Mills presentation A MUST READ !!!

    Don't get caught with an over priced, worthless piece of paper.

    If you wish to go into higher education make sure you do your homework first.
    On the whole "Life Experience" diploma's are scrap paper.

    I hope this has proved useful and opened your eyes to the scam that is Degree Mills.
