The college I attended did not offer the classes which I had originally signed up for. Now I have graduated and have no training in my field and am stuck with an $80.000.00 bill to repay. They did away with my major while I was still in the school and did not bother to tell any of my graduating class. I have several others with me who are all just as angry as I am. I do now know what type of lawyer I would need. We all have our transcripts which shows the classes we took and the original document which shows the classes we were promised and did not get. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Schools dont guarantee that certain classes will be available. They try to make those classes available, but they dont make any promises. Plus, you (and those other people) could of transfered to another school.
You have a very weak case, but if you really want to fight this, go talk to a lawyer.

I'd be more worried about repaying that $80,000...
You didn't say which major you wanted; maybe they re-named it. You didn't say which major and minor you did receive. These days once you get your undergraduate degree you have to specialize anyway. So get busy paying your loans off so you can specialize.
I don't know about suing, but that will take money, time and travel and a lot of paperwork, and are you willing to pay their attorneys if you lose the case. do you have that kind of money?
Just how many courses are we talking about here? Go back and get a second major, or go somewhere else and get the few courses you need.
You can call the Bar Association of your county or state and ask them your question, but I suspect you will get bounced around mercilessly, they will set up an appt for you, you will pay them for that yet still not get enough info to proceed....mainly cause they know you are in debt. So move on with your life and add to your schooling, or apply for the job you want and make sure that employer will pay for the balance of your education or train you in the position you wanted to be in..

Well, for not getting the classes you wanted, you managed to rack up $80,000 in loans...
if it took you this long to determine that you were in the wrong school, maybe you DO have a case.

Have fun! Chances are, your college has several graduates who are now lawyers.
If they did away with your major while you were in school, why didn't you transfer??
Are you unable to think for yourself?
I thought they taught that in college?

considering the fact that "fake promoting" falls under the Lanham Act, purely an instantaneous competitor (not a shopper) can sue them under the theory that fake advertisements are "unfair opposition". i've got considered your hoes. you at the instant are no opposition for homestead Depot, no count what they are advertising rather.
