Diploma Mill Gets Busted

Just this week the Spokesman Review, a local newspaper in Spokane, WA, published a list of contacts who used a now defunct diploma mill to get a high school diploma or a bachelor’s or graduate degree. The complete list contains more than 10,000 names. Several of the people who ran the mill are now under investigation and some have been sentenced to prison. Not only were several of the supposed degree-granting institutions nonexistent, the mill's owners printed diplomas from real universities like Texas A&M and George Washington University.

A diploma mill has been defined as a company that prints genuine-looking degrees for people who want a degree without putting the time and effort to study for a degree. This particular mill’s underhanded means for obtaining a bachelor’s degree begs an obvious question: Is CollegePlus! a diploma mill since it isn’t an accredited college?

Definitely not! CollegePlus! makes it clear that it is a third party coaching program that shows students how they can avoid lengthy coursework to complete their fully-accredited bachelor's degrees from recognized institutions of higher learning. CollegePlus! has never churned out diplomas from real or nonexistent universities like diploma mills have.

Students in the CollegePlus! program typically complete their regionally-accredited bachelor’s degrees in about two years. Sometimes they can do it in less time but the whole degree process still takes hundred or even thousands of hours of study. CollegePlus! is a program that requires a high level of motivation and dedication to complete a tangible goal. No, CollegePlus! is no diploma mill.
