I’ve seen some of the videos online. Some degree mills will let you CLEP (and adjacent services) your way to a degree in General Studies (or Liberal Studies, or Multidisciplinary Studies, or whatever). A lot of the time, it’s a degree in nothing in particular from a school nobody’s heard of. It’s not particularly useful, but better than nothing.
You get what you pay for. I’m not sure who is cheating who: the students, who think they’ve found a way to beat the system, or the schools, who make a quick buck in exchange for a degree of dubious value.


It ripped off this famous poem in the process:
A couple old folk songs about trains are “People Get Ready” and “Railroad Bill”
There’s also Bob Dylan, “It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry” and The Band, “Just Another Whistle Stop.”
