Thanks. We have places like that in my own country– they’re not exactly diploma mills, but they’re much too expensive for what they offer. I looked up Monroe’s website, and it does indeed push the idea that graduates are practically guaranteed instant employment.

That said, I’ve now read the young lady’s pro se complaint, and it’s pretty damn funny. Apart from her demand for “reinbursment” of her “tutision” fees due to the failings of the career “couselor”, she’s also suing for “the stress I have been going through looking for a full time job on my own “!

Monroe is a for-profit college and no it is not any good. These schools typically target the lower classes, promise a better life through education, and hang the students with colossal debt.

The 15 months in this case was in addition to an associates degree (usually 2 years to obtain). Usually, if one did an associates degree then one would have an additional 2 years of school to obtain a bachelor’s degree.

These for profit colleges can offer accelerated degree programs because degree credits are based on hours of class time. The level of rigor is quite malleable, which explains why this ostensibly college educated person lacks the ability to compose basic english prose.
