There are hundreds of phony colleges or "diploma mills" around the world. Most operate mainly through the Internet and offer degrees for little money and little to no coursework. These degrees are worthless and illegal to use in some states. A serious student must avoid falling for such a scam.

on 6/8/2007 "Life experience" can be a legitimate factor, and is used by fully accredited universities more and more these days. If a university offers you a degree based on education AND life experience, then it might very well be legitimate. It is only when they don't require ANY significant educational background in your field that you have to wonder.
