Our list of Abound schools can help you along the way, but if you do your own research, watch out for triggers that could warn of a scam.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-accreditation-with-a-fake-agency\"><b>Accreditation With a Fake Agency<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the easiest ways to root out a scam is to look for its accreditation. Accredited colleges go through a rigorous process to make sure students are receiving a quality education. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chea.org\/directories\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Council for Higher Education Accreditation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ope.ed.gov\/accreditation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U.S. Department of Education&#8217;s Office of Postsecondary Education<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> offer databases of accredited schools.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pushy-advertising-or-advisors\"><b>Pushy Advertising or \u201cAdvisors\u201d<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re being called, emailed, or pushed in any way to pay money to begin your degree program, you\u2019re likely dealing with a degree mill or scam of some sort. Be wary of people and schools that push you to sign-up.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"aboun-content-1-350x250 aboun-entity-placement\" id=\"aboun-347797655\"><div id=\"aboun-54907796\" style=\"margin-top: 50px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" data-cfpa=\"56271\" data-cfpw=\"56271\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/abound.college\/finishcollege\/school\/university-of-the-incarnate-word\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" aria-label=\"University-of-the-Incarnate-Word_Banner_Ads_300x250_SP\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/abound.college\/finishcollege\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/University-of-the-Incarnate-Word_Banner_Ads_300x250_SP.jpg\" alt=\"\"  width=\"300\" height=\"250\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div><div style=\"text-align:center\">\r\nFeatured School\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">;new advadsCfpAd( 56271 );<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-promise-that-you-ll-have-a-degree-in-days-weeks-or-months\"><b>Promise That You\u2019ll Have a Degree in Days, Weeks, or Months<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it seems too good to be true, it is. Any promise that your degree will arrive in the mail in a few days, weeks, or months, is a scam. This is what we call a degree mill. If you want a real degree, there will be work. All of these scams can be discouraging to read about, but have you heard about the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geteducated.com\/life-experience-college-degree\/290-online-college-diploma-mill-cases\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dog who got his MBA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Yep, we\u2019re serious.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-there-s-no-student-services\"><b>There\u2019s No Student Services<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All legitimate college programs offer student services. Student services are programs like financial aid, a library, a writing center, tutoring, career services, or child care. If none of those are available, it\u2019s likely the school you\u2019re researching is a scam. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-college-is-for-profit\"><b>The College is For-Profit<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This isn\u2019t a guarantee of a scam, but it means you should definitely look closer. If you do think the for-profit school is legitimate, also check online reviews. It\u2019s important that you not only receive your degree, but that you have a degree from a respected university.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-website-url-doesn-t-end-in-edu\"><b>The Website URL Doesn\u2019t End in .edu<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the website doesn\u2019t end in .edu, you\u2019re definitely dealing with a scam. Now, don\u2019t get too confident in the .edu. Some scam schools also use the .edu at the end of their web address. This isn\u2019t a guarantee that a school is legitimate, but not having it definitely indicates a scam.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-can-t-find-a-business-or-campus-address\"><b>You Can\u2019t Find a Business or Campus Address<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can\u2019t find an address for the school, there\u2019s a major chance that it\u2019s a scam. If all you can find is an email address, yep, you\u2019ve got a degree mill on your hands.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"aboun-content-1-350x250 aboun-entity-placement\" id=\"aboun-4227302632\"><div id=\"aboun-3230294755\" data-cfpa=\"56559\" data-cfpw=\"56559\"><div style=\"border-left:5px solid #66A889; background:#f7fbf9; padding:18px 20px; margin:28px 0; border-radius:6px;\">\r\n  <div style=\"font-size:17px; font-weight:700; margin-bottom:6px;\">\r\n    Should I Go Back to School?\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div style=\"margin-bottom:12px;\">\r\n    A quick 2-minute quiz to help adult learners decide if going back to college makes sense right now.\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/abound.college\/finishcollege\/should-i-go-back-to-school-quiz\/\" style=\"color:#66A889; font-weight:600; text-decoration:underline;\" data-bid=\"2\" data-no-instant=\"1\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n    Start the Quiz \u2192\r\n  <\/a>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\">;new advadsCfpAd( 56559 );<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-re-required-to-pay-a-lot-of-money-up-front\"><b>You\u2019re Required to Pay a Lot of Money Up Front<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the school requires a large, up front payment, check for other signs that the school is a scam. A few legitimate programs ask for a large, upfront payment, such as CBE programs. A request for a large payment should be a warning sign that you need to investigate the legitimacy of the program before making the payment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As well, if your degree will be paid in a flat fee payment, you\u2019re likely dealing with a degree mill. Legitimate programs charge by the hour, credit, or class. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-familiar-name-but-not-quite-right\"><b>Familiar Name, but Not Quite Right<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the name sounds familiar, but not quite right, you\u2019ve probably got a scam on your hands. Many fake degree programs create similar sounding names and professional websites in the hopes of tricking unsuspecting students. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our goal at Abound is to help you graduate and receive a degree as an adult learner. With the number of adults going back to school dramatically growing every year, there are more and more programs designed for people like you. We want to help you find the best programs and help you complete the program as quickly and inexpensively as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re researching college programs for adult students, be sure to look at Abound\u2019s list of vetted schools.
