Mountain State College is an accredited college and I doubt many HRM's have ever heard of it. If they accept it based on the name, too bad, that's their problem. Lazy HRM's can't blame the school for their lack of effort and knowledge. If someone wants to know what a college is or isn't, they should check.
Basically I agree with you.
There are some smart advertisement scams and services that plug in your university once you run a search on Google or Yahoo etc.
Name selection with having State in it can cause your university to be included among the listings of State universities in search engine etc.
If I ran a business and had web presence I would select a name that can appear among Harvard's etc.
How about this name "Top Tier University ":-) or "Best State University"
Just kidding
On a positive note Breyer site states that their accrediting agency is not recognized by USDE even if later down they state they are accredited.
And they are but by possibly agency created by themselves to accredit themselves for purpose to appear legitimate and be able to say we are accredited.
Gee...do ya think that maybe getting your degree in less than 3 days might be an indicator - even if the school had a really really great sounding name?
Come on, Student...you know good and well that NO ONE is "deceived" by a school's name, accreditation name or any other window dressing.
That is simply nonsense and everyone knows it.
If a person wants a fast easy degree, and gets a fast easy degree, sounds fair enough to me:-)
Is anyone responsible for their own actions anymore???
