Have a look at this website ( http://www.belforduniversity.org/ ) offering to sell degrees, including doctorates! Do you think the Korean immigration authorities are aware of so-called "accredited universities" like these? I find it quite shocking that they are allowed to operate and say many of the things that they do on the website.

"Earning a bachelor's degree on the basis of your life experience or online equivalency test is a matter of days, not months or years. No classes and no admissions are required; hence, there is no need to wait for something you already deserve. You can apply to receive your degree in just 7 days."

LMAO.

Good god, Doctorates and Nursing degrees!?!? A fake degree to teach English in Korea is one thing, but I really hope there aren't too many fake doctors and nurses running around. That's not cool.

I got my degree from the School of Hard Knocks.

I heard that one is on the list of bad unis that will land you in jail for fraud.

Here is a good link to read up on:
