Description
INTRODUCTION The connection between education and personal economic advantage drives a global market for higher education. Diploma mills, businesses that sell bogus degrees to customers in search of easy credentials, are a dark response to these market forces. The easy profits and minimal risk associated with selling degrees to this market lead those who traffic in unearned university credentials to build sophisticated businesses that are international in footprint and global in customer base. They create networks of fake universities, accrediting bodies, government agencies, and credential evaluating services that are full-blown imitations of the web of legitimate colleges, universities, and administrative structures that comprise international higher education.
