Is University of Sarasota a diploma mill?

Answer 1

If you are referring to what is now called Argosy University at Sarasota, it is a for-profit school that is similar to the University of Phoenix. It provides online education and some actual classes at a local venue; such classes are usually held at night to accommodate working adults. For-profit schools are businesses that usually cater to people who could not get into traditional colleges and universities, including adult students and military veterans. Tuition tends to be much more expensive, and some schools have been accused of high-pressure tactics in recruiting interested students.

If you pursue a degree at one of these schools, you may rarely meet your professors since the courses tend to mostly be online. The quality of these for-profit night schools vary: some seem to have a very strong faculty and a good reputation, while others seem to be more concerned with getting your money and after that, they deliver very few services. I enclose a link to Argosy, so you can begin to check it out for yourself and make a determination about it.
