LOL, Queen Helen, I'll serve in your Royal Navy. I'm pretty sure XXXXX University will award me a PhD in Oceanography, thus making me an expert in my field.

Yep, a diploma mill. One tip, no school has a "jurisdiction", I can use a University of London degree in the States and a degree from Harvard in China if I wanted so watch out for those key words.

By the way, purchasing a degree from life experience is not only useless, it's harmful. Countless people have been shamed or fired for maintaining a bogus degree from a fifth rate diploma mill.

I looked at their site where they claimed to be recognized by the educational arm of the UN, UNESCO through the IEM (a bogus accreditor) and thus recognized by the Dept. of Ed and CHEA. I checked UNESCO's site and found a warning against potential claims http://portal.unesco.org/education/en/ev.php-URL_ID=48787&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html

These guys have more than nerve...

"The applicant understands that Almeda University degrees are not legal for academic or business use in the following states: FL, IL, OR, NJ, ND, TX, WA, and ID. While Almeda is not aware of these states dictating hiring requirements to private businesses, the Almeda degree should not be used in these states for satisfying educational requirements in public sector jobs. Therefore residents of these states should consider the Almeda degree a novelty item only. "
