To determine if a school is legitimate, search the two websites below:
If a school does not appear in the above sites, then an employer can search for known Diploma Mills using the following lists of suspected or unaccredited schools:
The Michigan Civil Service Commission previously published a list of schools whose degrees had been found to not satisfy educational requirements indicated on job specifications for state classified positions. Rather than continuing to maintain the non-exhaustive and ever-expanding listing, the commission offers the following guidance on the acceptance of degrees to meet educational requirements for positions in the Michigan state classified service:
Degrees issued by institutions that are accredited by an accrediting body recognized in the database maintained by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (http://www.chea.org/) are typically accepted. Please note that individual degree programs that have not been accredited by the recognized, programmatic accrediting body might not be accepted. Degrees issued by foreign colleges and universities may be accepted if an applicant or employee presents evidence to demonstrate that the degree represents education equivalent to similar studies at an accredited university.
NOTE: Employers should keep in mind that there is no comprehensive, up-to-date list of degree mills. Fake schools can be set up overnight so it is always a moving target. Keep in mind that fake schools are now setting up fake accreditation agencies. If an employer cannot locate the schools on any site, it does not necessarily mean the school is a diploma mill. There are theological school that can grant degrees, as well as legitimated distance learning schools and vocational schools. An experienced background screening firm will always take steps to determine if a school is authentic.
