Wanted to post a few links about one of the most common topics we see on the forum in education - questions about suing a college for bad advising, and getting worthless degrees from non-accredited schools.
If a program sounds too good to be true, is offering something unrealistic, or is promising something that should take way longer to get, check the school's accreditation. Get online, and dig a little bit. Google the school, call about their programs, etc.
Along the same lines, you cannot sue a school for you not getting a job upon completion of the degree. You are responsible for getting a job.
And if you don't complete the degree plan, because you have a bad advisor or didn't take the classes in the right order, or didn't look at the schedule, you are not going to be able to get your money back. You pay your tuition "per class," and if you took the class, you got your money's worth. You don't pay tuition towards a degree, you pay per class. Make sure to get EVERYTHING in writing, YOU keep up on your plan, YOU check the schedule of classes, it's YOUR degree, stay on top of it.
There are plenty of stories on the internet

College Degree Does Not Guarantee a Job
Take control of your life. Take control of your degree. Don't waste your time. Keep your business in order. And if you can't get a job after school, and don't want to repay your school loans, you are most likely out of luck.
