Watch Out for unaccredited colleges offering you an easy MBA.

They are called diploma mills and they have become the bane of employers everywhere. They are unaccredited, online "colleges" or "universities" which offer worthless degrees in exchange for payment alone or for payment and very minimal work (often single "research" paper). These diploma mills often claim accreditation from fraudulent "accrediting agencies" that exist only to mislead prospective students. These bogus accrediting agencies are often operated by the same people run the degree mills.

Most of these online colleges look legitimate and some even clone the names and look of legitimate universities. For example an online college called Parkwood University copied word for work the online prospectus of The University of Central Florida, a legitimate accredited learning institution.

Here's a list of non accredited colleges currently offering online degrees. These are not all diploma mills but with hundred of accredited colleges out there offering degrees why would you risk it?

It's easy but risky to buy a fake degree or to claim to have a degree that you have not earned. You never know when the lie on your resume is going to be discovered and it can have dire consequences for your career.

So, carefully check out the colleges and universities you are considering, and utilize websites like this one which list accredited online degree programs. If you choose to obtain a fraudulent credential from a degree mail, you do so at your own risk and the consequences can be great.

The following is a list of some non accredited online degree suppliers.
