Harvard, MIT, Boston College — Massachusetts is known for top universities. This school claims to be among them. The state says it's fake.
The home page of the mcu.university website, purportedly for an institution called Massachusetts Central University, on Monday, April 24, 2023.A stock image, captioned,"Three happy students looking at you with thumbs up in an university campus," that appears in the Massachusetts Central University website.A stock photo, titled,"Disloyal man walking with his girlfriend and looking amazed at another seductive girl," that's become a popular meme.
Paula Fleming, the chief marketing and sales officer for the local Better Business Bureau and the parent of a high school senior, said the scheme appeared to be what's known as a diploma mill, a business that offers fake college graduate diplomas for money, even though diplomas from institutions that aren't accredited are seen as fake and can have legal consequences.
Fleming said that people interested in online education shod research the school, checking the website for grammatical errors, digging into their social media and cross-checking information with the Department of Education.Make sure it’s accredited. The Council on Higher Education Accreditation or the U.S. Department of Education should recognize the school. Visit these websites and search for your school to find its Accreditation Information.
