That said, you may not agree with their method of the distance-learning model, but it hardly constitutes fraud.

But it is interesting that when you click on the link for their accrediting agency, you get a 404 error.

It's a diploma mill. If it were a real university, it would be accredited by the State of Florida.

What is interesting is that you stopped right there without persuing it further...probably because it fit your preconceptions and bias.

If you would have done a simple search for The Higher Learning Commision, you would have noticed that there is a simple error on Argosy's website in which the link is expressed as www.ncahlc.org, rather than the proper www.ncahlc.org/. The only difference is the slash at the end.

Once there, all you have to do is access their directory of institutions which shows 448 hits for either Argosy University of Sarasota, or University of Sarasota

That was only one of the two accreditation links that can be found on their website however...the second of which, CACREP (which you failed to mention...no surprises there) works just fine.

It's a diploma mill.

Well, show me that it is. All you've really demonstrated is your bias and laziness

...If it were a real university, it would be accredited by the State of Florida.

From their website:

Argosy University/Sarasota is licensed by the Commission of Independent Education, Florida Department of Education. Additional information regarding this institution may be obtained by contacting the Commission at 2650 Apalachee Parkway, Suite A, Tallahassee, FL 32301, 888-224-6684).

Your move Spassky
