I wouldn't hold the spelling against them in terms of judging their legitimacy. It so happens that recently I was checking out degree and certificate programs at various institutions known to be legitimate and accredited and specializing in distance learning, and they go via a marketing pitch similar to the above, including a proprietary search interface which frequently returns pages with homophone or homophone-like spelling or usage errors which are, unfortunately, very common in English these days. It's not like the people doing the Web pages for them are graduates of their English depts. or were even students of them at all, after all.

4-6 weeks to a degree looks like what might be called "not typical" in FTC ad regs, but those might not apply to non-profits, and it's not beyond the realm of possibility. You'd have to have a lot of transfer credit accepted, place out of some requirements, and take the remaining courses asynchronously on an accelerated schedule, but I wouldn't say they're lying. They're pretty desperate to fill their enrollments these days, and they'll use live chat and phone calls, even evenings, to answer your inquiries.

Koraxbear, This may be more classified as spam, than scam however the IP resolves to Guatemala. I don't believe the phone number is from Guatemala. Possibly the "school" out sourced their spamming (since you didn't request information yourself) to Central America. I would think that if the school is located where the spam came from, the email would be in Spanish, not English.

Regarding an "accelerated" degree program. Those are typically called Diploma Mills and little of any actual instruction is done by the "school". They print diplomas for a fee. The are not accredited by any legitimate accrediting institution (state or federal). Too often they are just used as resume enhancers and do not provide any actual course of study.

If you just want initials behind your name this is the way to go. If you want to learn something about a subject take courses that are challenging and have a prescribed course of study.

NOTE: None of the above designations are true. Rev. stands for Revealer of scams. Esq means I have read the magazine, A Real Nice Guy isn't so true either, and Foolishness Doctor is the closest to being true.
