Police Chief and Police Dog Have Diploma Mill Degrees From Same School
Mar 8th, 2007
Accreditation is the most important factor to consider when choosing an online school. Using a degree from an unaccredited school could land you in hot water at the workplace.
Just look at the police chief from Fostoria, ohio. A defense lawyer is petitioning to have his client's drug charges thrown out because the city police chief and a police dog have degrees from the same college.
According to an Associated Press report:
"McGuire, hired as chief in this northwest Ohio city a year ago, is to go on trial this month on charges of falsification and tampering with records. A special prosecutor said McGuire lied on his application and resume about his rank, position, duties, responsibilities and salary in three of his previous jobs."
If you want to avoid earning a "diploma mill" degree from an unaccredited school, use the Department of Education's database to find out whether or not the online college you are considering is accredited.
