Talk:University of Beverly Hills

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I Googled for info on this alleged diploma mill, and found nothing that is any more authoritative than the Quackwatch item about Earl Mindell (whose Wikipedia entry now indicates that he got his PhD from a different diploma mill!). However, I did find a disturbingly large number of links to pages about people in many walks of life who claimed to have been educated at University of Beverly Hills. It would be nice to get more info on this school. --orlady 20:05, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

In 1981, I interviewed with this school at their offices in Los Angeles and met with their dean of Business, I took a battery of tests to show my level of competency in all the core subjects required for a business degree in human resource management. I passed all of these tests except economics and was required to study Economics I(libray at University of Calif. Northridge)and take the test again. I had 12 credits from a jr college that was transferred. The school allowed at least 60 Hr credits for work experience in the HR field. I had to write a thesis which took me two months on setting up an HR department for a manufacturing firm. After 1 year of study, I was awarded a BS in Personnel Management which states it is accredited by the State of California. I thought it was a legitimate school helping the working professional get a degree in their field without attending classes. The school had a library and held some classes in their downtown offices. I paid about $3000 in tuition fees. Since I found out that this school was defunct and that it has been considered a diploma mill, I quit stating that I have a degree from the school. Especially since HR is my field of expertise, I feel really dumb that I could have been duped about this degree. 63.215.29.145 17:01, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
