When searching for an learning system to earn a degree, there are some dangers to look out for.

If it’s a nontraditional subject area you’re interested in, you’ll need to take extra caution. Unlike hard sciences, more unusual or esoteric subjects are often great opportunities for pulling the wool over students’ eyes. These include learning systems in pseudosciences like astrology, hypnotism, and natural healing.

The esoteric nature of these kinds of learning system makes external verification difficult for students, since education standards and credentials may be defined by the diploma mill’s own staff rather than established or traditional criteria.
