Did you receive a non-accredited degree / degree mill degree? (Interview Opportunity)

[freeloader]

Worth noting that we don’t know what the OP’s research questions are. Conflating unaccredited with degree mill could be intentional, but could equally be demonstrative of a particular group of biases carried by OP and much of the academic community. It would actually be interesting to test if people self-identify as having unaccredited degrees when, in reality, their degrees are accredited. Likewise, would be interesting to test the amount of understanding that people have about what degree of legitimacy their unaccredited degree has. Previously accredited, seeking accreditation, religious exemption, “conscientious“ objections, state licensed but unaccredited, and, yes, diploma mills all are different and likely mean different things to different people. Hopefully OP is trying to capture both the nuance present in unaccredited degrees and the nuance (or lack thereof) in people’s understanding of their degrees.
