Dr. Fake: The phony degree industry is exploding in Nevada and beyond - Larry Wills, Las Vegas Mercury
Frustrated by the obstacles of higher education--grade points, attendance and those irritating research papers? Why not go online instead and just buy a degree? Pay a little extra and you've become a magna cum laude. Even a doctorate will only set you back $1,000 or so. Unaccredited schools lure students to convert their life skills into college credits, giving them a neat-looking diploma with a believable name, York University, Alameda College, Lexington University, Barrington University or the University of Homeland Security. If you have no life skills, that's okay. Just send money.
