    Typical of many unaccredited schools, set up merely to either enroll foreigners overseas who can tout the governmental approval (state license) that looks meaningful over there but isn't here, or to bring students from overseas as a sham to cover up other reasons.

    TEKMAN Semper Fi!

    Hispanic University of Utah? Is this a legit school or a division of University of Utah? I could find it official website or information.

    Well, no, it isn't a legit anything that's why it's being featured in an article as a diploma mill.

    They don't have any affiliation with the University of Utah or National Hispanic University. They just threw some words together and sold some worthless degrees.

    If you sell a diploma mill degree to the average American, I tend to lack sympathy. It's fairly easy to do your homework and verify that you are attending a "legitimate" school. But when those schools target foreign nationals or people in this country who don't have a strong grasp of English, that's really a sleazy thing to do.

    One involves providing a product that people's greed drives them to desire. Sleazy, but I kind of "get it." The other is pure deception and that makes me nauseous thinking about how an innocent person might get duped into this.
