Diploma Mills
Many people, especially students, have heard of the term diploma mill applied to some colleges, universities and other educational organizations. The Department of Education defines a diploma mill as follows:
A diploma mill is an unaccredited school (or a business claiming to be a school) that awards a degree without requiring classwork meeting college-level standards. Some will send a “diploma†without the student doing any work at all–the student simply pays a fee. Others assign classwork that is so easy, the student’s resulting degree is worthless compared to a degree from an accredited school.
