English term or phrase: Diploma Mill
Definition from Guide to Online Education:
Also called "degree mill." An organization lacking recognition by legitimate accrediting agencies which "awards" academic degrees and diplomas for a flat fee, usually requiring little or no academic study.

Example sentence(s):
  • Although many diploma mills claim to be “accredited,” their accreditation is from a bogus, but official-sounding agency that they created. Federal Trade Commission
  • The terms "unaccredited" and "diploma mill" are sometimes improperly treated as synonomous. In fact, there are a wide range of institutions representing themselves as colleges or universities that grant degrees but do not meet New Jersey standards. NJ Commission on Higher Education
  • These "schools" promise a fast and easy road to a degreed job but you can destroy your professional reputation for life by using a degree from a diploma mill, and that "fast and easy road" can lead straight to prison. Degree Finders
