Are work experiance college degrees ethical?

There are not 2 sides. Life experience degrees outside of the U.S. are totally different. In England, for example, it is possible to earn a degree by examination- but you have to study like crazy to complete them.

In France, unless the degree is authorized by the department of education, it is useless. Often, schools outside of the US are authorized to operate, but not by the department or ministry. The French school you mention is linked to another school with questionable practices.

Note that their site says you need an evaluation to use the degree in the US. You may get an evaluation and find that the evaluation service considers this degree worthless. Please also note that this is not the Sorbonne, this is a school using a similar name (and yes, I read French). Education in France is well structured. I don’t think this is even equivalent to a DUT/BTS (formations courtes). I am pretty sure this is not a Licence or Master. Although there is alternative education in France, you need to make sure the school is recognized by the government as a school.

The U.S. life experience degrees are not accredited and are illegal in some states.

Be careful, just because a school says it is authorized/accredited does not make it so.

If you read French, too:

You don’t use anything you learn in college. College is just a means to prove yourself and develop problem solving skills, if you have a real major (business majors need not apply). I graduated with a mechanical engineering degree and haven’t done a calculus problem, or a problem relating to any other jabberwocky class I took, since I graduated.

well any institution can grant a degree i suppose, but whether or not the institution is ACCREDITED is the important thing. like of course people get random degrees in all types of places. but if you are applying for a job with “non-accredited joe” then you’ll have a HUGE edge over him, because his illegitimate degree isn’t worth much.

so it’s fair in the sense of you get what you pay for

its good to implement that bcz experience only makes the man perfect..just by reading books one cant understand the real time situation ,so i strictly support work experience degrees..i hope this will be implemented in all educations soon//
