Jamaican Professor Inspired to Investigate Online Diploma Mills by Dog That Earned MBA
Diploma Mill Police - Accreditation Verification  >  Online Degrees - Credibility & Employer Perception
 
Carolyn Cooper once toyed with the idea of getting an MBA, but instead became a professor of literary and cultural studies at the Carolyn CooperUniversity of the West Indies.

When Cooper learned about Chester Ludlow—GetEducated's pug dog mascot—being awarded an online MBA from Rochville University, she again considered netting herself an advanced business degree.

"To think that a dog had more ambition than me!" Cooper wrote in a recent column in the Jamaica Gleaner. "I decided to apply to Rochville for a PhD in chemistry. Why chemistry? Why not? I have good chemistry."

Cooper manufactured the following chemistry "experience" on her application to Rochville: being "good at chemistry in high school" and working for 20 years at a Jamaican producer of household chemicals.

Within 15 minutes of emailing her application to Rochville, says Cooper, a representative from the school called her to find out if she had a bachelor's or master's in chemistry.
