Tucson NBC story on Pacific Western U

Unfortunately, the Tuscon news organization was not one of them. They chose sound bites and effect over substance and useful consumer education.

This new proprietor is extraordinarily serious, I have to say, that is a great thing that Forte stop working.

 

And when have the media been any different?

The media is not about 'education' but about sensationalism, misery and entertainment.

And they certainly never let the facts get in the way of a good story!

 

One comes to mind, but we will have to wait a few more weeks before your question can be definitively answered.

 

Just why

Would anyone want a degree, legitimate or not, from a school that was previously widely known as a diploma mill? Sounds like you would be setting yourself up for a lifetime of unnecessarily trying to justify your degree.

 

Why do people keep getting unaccredited degrees? I am even more amazed when people with legitimate degrees go on to tarnish their hardwork with questionable degrees.

 

Dead right! A complete waste of time, money and reputation

 

This question can now be answered affirmatively.

 

Heh, heh, heh.

BTW, Orion College was another. But it was told by DETC to beat it, and it died shortly afterwards.

 

PWU is an nice example of a degree mill.

 

Yes, a degree mill with the "coveted" California State Approval. Which is a good indication as to what state approval is worth, almost nothing. This from the state that the unaccredited school apologists love to reference as the great example of how state approval works so well.

 

other states too

Let's not forget that news story about visits to Dubai by legislators from Wyoming and the recent Alabama licensing surprise.
