Help me stop my cousin from getting a worthless degree!

There is a "search" feature. It's pretty neat, helped me learn a lot.

Yeah, I searched and the computer I happened to be on wouldn't allow me to click on the link. Already went over that in another thread and I do try to search before asking questions.

That's not even the OP.

I'm saying "you" in the general sense.

Thanks for the laugh! hilarious

My little cousin was recently given a full "scholarship" to study biochemistry at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

I call upon the good people of the Instacert Forums to help me talk some sense into her and show her that she is making the biggest mistake of her life.

For one thing, these frauds don't even offer majors! Look at it right there on their website:

LSA Concentrations - Office of the Registrar

List of CONCENTRATIONS! Concentration in Chemistry! Concentration in History! You don't actually end up with a degree in Biochemistry, you end up with a Bachelor of Science with a concentration in Biochemistry!

Which leads me to my next point about this worthless diploma mill:

These non-major concentration thingies aren't even printed on the diploma

Look at that! Bachelor of Arts! I can't tell from looking at his diploma if this dude's degree is in History or Basketweaving.

A degree from this place isn't worth the paper that it's printed on.

I told her about Excelsior and how, if she went there instead she would actually earn a Bachelor of Science *IN* Something (sure they don't have a biochemistry major, but she could MAJOR in biology and throw in a couple chem courses and it would be better than having a concentration in biochemistry). Not to mention, she'd actually get a real diploma. One that has the MAJOR (which she won't get at Michigan) spelled out in big, bold letters.

I'm just so scared for her future. She is about to throw away the best years of her life getting a piece of paper that no employer will take seriously and no graduate school will accept. And the Big House is a toilet bowl and Ohio State still owns Michigan anyway. :*(
