I have received these ads and personally did not see anything wrong with them. In fact, I am purchasing...er...working on a doctorate in applied physics from one such institution, with the hope of getting a six figure salary in the private sector. With the time freed up from the labors of studying, writing essays, and test taking, I may even get a multiple degree in Micro-Economics or perhaps Neuroendocrinology. How about U?
