online degree programs psychology | Diploma Mills EXPOSED!!
Hey my dorm room buddy - I hope that you’re enjoying life after Labor Day 
I’ve got some very interesting stories to tell you about diploma mills.
Diploma mills have been a thorn in education’s side since the 1980s, and with the advent of the he Internet it has become
possible for anyone to get a degree from any site claiming to be a college.
Cases in point:
In July it was revealed that three top administrators in a Regional School District, including the superintendent, obtained doctoral degrees from Breyer State University, an unaccredited online program.
Oh, and the school district paid their $2,900 tuition bill gave them a $2,500 raise! :-0
Several other notorious online degree cases have made national headlines recetnly as well.
There was Laurence Perry, who posed as a medical specialist in North Carolina using fraudulent degrees he’d bought from diploma mills. Perry was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and practicing medicine without a license in 2002 after advising a client to take her diabetic daughter off of insulin, which led to the 8-year-old child’s death.
This month, The Chicago Tribune reported that a Chicago Public Schools instructor and five current or former police officers were on the federal list of suspected buyers of fake degrees from a Washington state criminal diploma scheme.
And the list goes on and on… 
A news reporter (I believe it was in Flint MI) with no medical education got approved for a doctorate in medicine and surgery from Ashwood University, which only operates online.
I have no idea where Ashwood is located, but they should be about a couple of floors lower than Hades…
Ashwood University approved the degree based simply on an applicant submitting a list of hospitals although there was no claiming to have worked at them or anywhere else in the medical field. Of course, the degree could only be awarded when the $659 bill was paid, according to an e-mail from Ashwood.
The same reporter also applied at Belford University and they were happy to approve the application for an early childhood education degree…
…even when the submitted background information included “convicted of child porn charges.”
Can you believe this S&*%?
Unfortunately, the diploma mills are still alive and kicking, but whatever you do, DON’T fall into their trap. You’re pay for it for the rest of your life!

Just five hours after submission of the online application, which included no employment history,
the honors were bestowed — pending a roughly $600 payment, of course.
