Accredited Online University, Online School, Online Degrees - Mcford University

But i heard its some degree mill.......

???

Which country is it from?
Singapore? Then it is definitely a illegal degree mill, since this "mcford university" is not one of the 6 degree-awarding universities in singapore (NUS, NTU, SMU, SUTD, SIT, UniSIM).

For other country universities, you may wish to use renown ranking charts as reference like "Times Higher Education" and "QS" etc. Or refer to renown research groups like, Russell Group (UK), Group of Eight (AUS), LERU (Europe), Association of American Universities (USA), U15 (Canada), C9 League (China) etc.
Apparently, the mcford university is not on any list. Thus, be cautious.

I will advice against applying for online degrees, unless you are confident your company accepts that sort of degree. If you want to satisfy your hunger for online courses, you are free to use Coursera, edX or FutureLearn.

This is not an accredited university. Do not be fooled by the flashy website.

A quick check reveals that this is a fake institution, the so-called agency that accredits this "university" is also fake.

Goodness.

Then how my HR admit my colleague in? I am in a GLC some more.

He was the one who recommended me and he got his degree and MBA from McFord.

You may wish to clarify the actual details with someone of higher authority in your GLC HR. If indeed your colleague is holding McFod degrees and that certain HR officer admitted your colleague, you may wish to report them to the higher HR authority.
Else you may also try report to CPIB.

Hi TS,

McFord University is basically a degree mill operating out of Pakistan.

I'm surprised your HR did not scrutinize your colleague's credentials.

Hi JivBunny, any update from your HR?

With the recent debacle abt that PRC guy Yang Yin gaining Spore PR with fake university credentials, it's probably someone is not being careful with the checking. It could be laziness, negligence, or simply ignorance on the part of the HR officer, let's hope it's not due to malicious or corrupt intent.

If the GLC you're from has a whistleblowing policy, maybe you would like to report this incident to the higher management (or anonymously, if you're concerned about how well-executed is the whistleblowing policy).

Best to weed out this kind of fake talent least it denies someone with bona fide credentials his/her chance of employment.

if dude is able to gain PR with such degree, would HR care to check?
HR may buy into the idea, our gov did their job.
hiring manager interviewed and feel that one is capable (perhaps thats needs to be put under a microscope too)

then again with Yang Yin and Dr Shankar incident... we have yet to learn.
talk about once bitten twice shy

Please do your part and report your HR. Seems like they are clueless at their job.
