Talk:St Clements University Network

Message from Philip Li, UCLA Alumni philip@uclalumni.net

Many non traditional school is considered to be degree mill by our government, yet from my experience of UCLA working with master programs of South China Technology University, the 10 biggest University in China with more then 50,000 students, including 9000 research students (now they are working with St Clements on Postgraduate diploma on Language programs).

I am sure that they are very strict in chosing partners (that is why they choose UCLA, University of Wales, UK etc). If anyone is interested I can refer their professors for verification. Unfortunately the China people cannot access Wikipedia as the government do not allow that.

On the website of St Clements it is stated to be a private commercial university corporation, and it has been there for nearly 12 years. The website is very poor, which is different to most good looking diploma mills websites.

St Clements is member of British Learning Association, in which most UK universities are members and ICDE www.icde.org, UNESCO listed for accreditation for distance learning.

Their library and thesis is also included in UNESCO list of reference. All their schools and contact names in different parts of the world are listed on their website, showing their global network. It is not sensible for a degree mill to do all this. They only need to build a nice looking website. The fact that it is not United States approved does not necessary means that is a degree mill. We need to be fair to global learning institutions.
