And here by "diploma mill", I'm going by the federal definition of "little or no".
We have five schools. Each operates differently. Which of these five is your diploma mill of choice?
------------
School 1 operates by having its students write a short dissertation/thesis. Degrees are awarded on a creative essay. Anything you write is acceptable. You'll get passed through no matter the content. At this school they're passing you through, but at least you'll get the chance to exercise some creative talent for your degree.
------------
School 2 grants degrees on a single test. You complete the test and get your degree. This school may hold you to a standard.
------------
School 3 will make you read a book for it, but won't test you on the material afterward. At this school you might learn something.
------------
School 4 will award you a degree on a power point presentation. You'll get the chance to make a creative power point presentation of your past work to show to your instructors.
------------
School 5 awards degrees based on accumulated credit transfer from previous schools. No coursework or interviews at this at this school. Fill out some forms and off you go.
-----------
School 6 will award a degree based on a telephone call. They call you up and ask you "What have you done in your life?" After you tell them about yourself they reply "Well, I find you qualified."
