Diploma Mill
Norwegian translation:
bløffuniversitet
English term
diploma mill
Although many diploma mills claim to be “accredited,” their accreditation is from a bogus, but official-sounding agency that they created. (Federal Trade Commission)
The terms "unaccredited" and "diploma mill" are sometimes improperly treated as synonomous. In fact, there are a wide range of institutions representing themselves as colleges or universities that grant degrees but do not meet New Jersey standards. (NJ Commission on Higher Education)
These "schools" promise a fast and easy road to a degreed job but you can destroy your professional reputation for life by using a degree from a diploma mill, and that "fast and easy road" can lead straight to prison. (Degree Finders)
