....to see what those of you in the know can tell me.

I recently submitted an application for admission to ASHWORTH college. I
have been abroad for a while, and haven't heard of degree mills until I
subscribed to this newsgroup. They say that they are accredited by the DETC
and they are located in Nocross Georgia....

Long story short...is THIS a paper mill?

Yes.

Of course naming it after the U.S. Attorney General shows a certain panache.

You can confirm that they are not DETC-accredited on the DETC site,

Is accredited by the DETC. They have a fairly good reputation as a trade
school for Paralegals.

John Bear demonstrates fallibility.

Indeed, there is a big new phony called Ashcroft University -- and there is a
legitimate, DETC-accredited proprietary Associate-granting school called
Ashworth.

Mea culpa.
