Lacrosse U? Columbus U? HELP! PLEASE!!!

I a thinking about finishing my degree online. I have checked into a few schools that seem to be very legitamate such as University of Phoenix online but the cost for ONE COURSE is around $1200. Recently I ran across a couple of schools such as Lacrosse University and Columbus University which offer accelerated programs at a cost of only around $2000 TOTAL. Does anyone know if these schools are legit or anything else about them. They are accredited through WAUC (or something like that). Any info anyone might have on these schools or a recommendation of another school would be greatly appreciated. It may save me from making a big mistake or miht help me a great deal. Thank you.

 

Lacrosse and Columbus are not universities. They are businesses that pose as universities, awarding credentials that purport to be degrees. WAUC accreditation is further proof of this. Neither school is recognized as a university by any competent or accepted authority. The only places where degrees from such schools are accepted are those who are fooled into thinking they're real.

If you found this board, you must have been doing some research. I'm surprised that your first post would be about those two schools. Perhaps if you posed a question or two about what you seek you will find some assistance.

Based on my extensive survey of registrars of schools with recognized accreditation, a $10 doctorate from Universal Life University in Modesto would have exactly as much acceptance as a LaCross and a Columbus degree, in the academic world: none.

 

WAUC is not a recognized accrediting agency.

Using a bogus accrediting agency is a ploy that many degree mills use to trick people into believing the degrees might be worth something. Claiming bogus accreditation is a warning sign that the institution should be avoided.
