    Anyone heard of MUST University. Definitely looks like a MIll.

    http://www.mustuniversity.com/

    Looks like the name could be trying to ripp-off MUST, Misr University for Science and Technology in Egypt. Although I can't say anything about their accreditation either as the page is in Arabic.

    http://www.must.edu/

    Both the university and its "accreditor" registered their domain names using anonymous services. That isn't very promising.

    MUST University Legit?

    Well, this recent thread http://forums.degreeinfo.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30741 concluded that this MUST University www.mustuniversity.com is likely a mill, but there are certain very legit MUST Universities, such as Malaysia University of Science and Technology www.must.edu.my, Mbarara University of Science and Technology (in Uganda) www.must.8m.net, Missouri University of Science and Technology (formerly the University of Missouri at Rolla) www.mst.edu, and the Mongolian University of Science and Technology www.must.edu.mn.

    Well, Misr University for Science and Technology being in Egypt and all, a visit to the Egyptian Ministry of Education www.emoe.org should clear things up. But I don't read Arabic either. Darn! The wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misr_University_for_Science_and_Technology does describe Misr University for Science and Technology thusly: "a leading independent university in Egypt, it was established in 1996."

    I went to their online consultant chat. Will post some of the log a little later.
    Not as bad as Rochville though, they actually suggested I edited their wikipedia page so say they're fully accredited... lmao
