Re: Breyer State University- Diploma Mill
Posted by Ed on 4/22/08

    I checked this out Alan. From their site:

    "1). An honorary degree and not an earned academic degree - interesting....
    2). That they agree to sign the initials Ph.D(hon) in cases where they use this honor. - hmmm
    3). That the honorary doctorate degree does not meet any type of requirements for licensing or certifications,
    or any type of specific employment. - Go on.....
    4). That the candidate abides by the university policy to never misrepresent the degree, and are clear as to
    the designation of the degree as honorary in any and all uses of the degree title." - Wiw it doesn't sound
    like you can use this degree for anything in the job market or in the academic world?!?

    This sounds like it might be a problem here..... AND wait there's more. LSU The national champions in NCAA
    football also sell degrees too! http://www.lsuhsc.edu/no/administration/pm/pm-7.aspx Just read here. Wait
    wait wait a minute... the team they played Ohio State...
    http://senate.osu.edu/committees/Honorary_Degrees/HDGuidelines.html Oh My God Alan.... They all must be
    diploma mills because all three universities HAVE HONORARY DOCTORATES?!?!?!

    So let me anticipate your response here: LSU and OSU selling honorary doctorates is ok right? Because they
    are well known brick and mortar universities?? However BSU isn't because they are online? Plus they also
    pocket all the tuition too from the honor doc? Well read this:

    "Upon final approval by the administration, the candidate for the honorary doctorate degree will make a
    contribution to the University of $750.00. This contribution will be shared with various charitable
    organizations as selected by the administration."

    Hmmm this sounds like a scam here.... an honorary doctorate program offered from a university?!? A person
    pays for a diploma that says "Honorary Doctorate" on it. That person proves they have experience to warrant
    such an honor, then is told that it is not an academic degree and will not qualify for licensing... AND THEN
    Breyer State gives the tuition away to charitable organizations!?!?! GREAT CAESAR'S GHOST!!!! Alan you have
    done it... My mind has been changed. I am withdrawing from all courses and demanding my money back this very
    moment! You sir are a crusader of education, a paladin of knowledge, & a protector of learners everywhere.
    If you don't get a metal for this I will be shocked! -me rolls eyes.

    Seriously do you work for another online university? Is Breyer State stealing your thunder? Did Breyer
    State sleep with your girlfriend? If this was the best reason you could come up with to defend your argument,
    I'm not going to take anything you say seriously from now on and neither should anyone else.
