They have this type of write up for a ton of courses.

I assume that this is to justify the giving of credits for "courses." It's fraud plain and simple.

I think fraud might be a bit strong. The only way Mercaz and schools like it are able to draw such a large number of American students is by offering the ability to use the year to get college credits.

As you know, plenty of people will get degrees (BTLs) based on these courses, and use that degree to get into law school or some other master's program.
