Almeda University and Its Rivals

Almeda University is much touted as a degree mill or diploma mill. Why? It is so because the whole image of online degrees is shameful, on account of thousands of those institutions who have spoiled the name of education-granting because of their money-specific practices. Almeda university life experience degrees are not your regular diploma mills stuff. But just for thinking, why is it called like that? It is so because the degree system is entirely online for starting, and second, there are no entrance examinations (as people think).

The public does not know that Almeda DOES conduct a test for eligibility. You can’t have a free pass to the degree – you are required to show proper documents supporting your eligibility. Further, you may be required to write a thesis or dissertation to prove your worthiness and experience.

Almeda is not a diploma mill by any shot of imagination – it is a pure learning centre at par with any respectable university, on the premise that while the universities reward talent in its mental form, Almeda rewards talent in its practical form, or simply put, Almeda rewards experience.

Almeda University gives out degrees for your experience. Like you have knowledge from books and are rewarded with a college degree for it; Almeda University rewards your experience gained in life. What is wrong in that?

I see no wrong in that. An institution is free to offer degrees the way they want - traditional degrees are offered on the basis of theory reading from books, so what if Almeda comes out with an objective to reward on the basis of practical experience?
