ADVERTISEMENTS APPEARING IN bain4weeks.com
Note that the colleges and universities listed and featured in the body of work comprising, BA in 4 Weeks, are either US regionally accredited or the foreign equivalent thereof. Served advertisements of institutions appearing in bain4weeks.com are screened to remove the worthless offerings. Since specific advertisers and advertisements cannot be determined a priori, filtering occurs after the fact of a first appearance.
Advertisements for regionally accredited institutions, DETC accredited institutions, and the foreign equivalent of regionally accredited institutions, may appear on this website. Rarely, the advertisements of not yet accredited institutions that are in the author’s view, otherwise legitimate, may also appear.
Third party vendors are also screened and those whose niche is the promotion of unaccredited colleges and universities, are removed. The remainder who promote schools, promote overwhelmingly, accredited schools, but even they from time to time may deal in material pertaining to unaccredited schools. Every effort is made to filter the undesirable, but this is not an exact science and there is no way to predict what others may decide to publish on their websites.
Readers are urged to do due diligence on, and to check the accreditation of, any school before committing to a program of study.
