To whom it may concern:

I have just read an article by "Sunnie"
(Leslie Bowman) about diploma mills on your
web site. She advised if one was not sure,
she would advise if a school was a diploma
mill or not. I am trying to find out if
Columbia Southern University is a diploma
mill. I started classes but a friend told
me it was such a school so I stopped
immediately. CSU is out of Orange Beach,
Alabama and their web site is
www.columbiasouthern.edu. This school is
not recognized by one of the "BIG 6",
however, it is recognized by DETC and
CHEA. Can you help me? I do not want to
waste anymore money, if it has been wasted
at all. Fingers Crossed!!!
