The menace of unaccredited degrees has negatively impacted the education industry in more ways than one. On one hand, they are gambling with the future of gullible students, and on the other, they are creating a society of intellectual cheats and swindlers.
The purpose of this article is to blow the whistle on these unaccredited online universities, such as Almeda University (www.almedauniversity.org).
These so-called universities fool the unsuspecting people in the garb of their fake accreditation, mainly because a common man lacks the understanding of what an accreditation really is.
Simply put, accreditation is a voluntary and formal way of ensuring that institutions are providing their students with a quality education. It is the responsibility of accrediting agencies to ensure that the institutions are meeting their stated goals.
And when an institution, such as Almeda University, offers you a degree on the basis of a phony accreditation, you have unfortunately been awarded a degree which has no worth or credibility. The main objective of such unscrupulous institutions is to extract exorbitant money from innocent and desperate students without any remorse.
Almeda University is a fake online university, providing unaccredited degrees to students around the world. You get to know its non-accredited and fake status when you call their advisory service; the contact number they have given on their website is mostly inaccessible, and even if they receive your call, which is highly unlikely, they transfer it to other irrelevant people and never answer your queries or questions.
The purpose of this article is not to discourage or criticize online and for-profit universities; rather, it serves as an eye-opener for the people looking for an accredited degree and ensures that they stay aware of the unaccredited universities bent on fleecing them.
Such universities are simply giving a bad name to the industry of online educational institutions, particularly universities awarding degrees based on life experience.
Therefore, it is recommended that people should pursue their education from a credible, recognized and accredited university and protect themselves from falling prey to unaccredited online education predators like Almeda.
