[quote=barcotta]What a great find. And there's more! Check out this report on alternative methods to achieve a college degree http://www.lowestcostcolleges.com/. Download the free 67 page report and read it. It's fascinating--particularly if you are already familiar with much of the information. I found a video-promo for this when I looked at April's CLEP videos.




I wanted to second an endorsement for Dr. North's pdf. It is SO IMPORTANT that I printed out 10 copies and gave them to moms in my homeschool group. There are 2 versions- one geared at high school kids and one geared at graduates. There is overlap, but you'll find enough differences that I suggest checking them both out. Super valuable information, and I think anyone considering one of the "big 3" would benefit from reading it as well. As mentioned, some of the info has changed since the document was written, but it is better for giving you a great "BIG PICTURE" when thinking about your undergrad degree- where to get it- how to get it- and where most people get off track. Thumbs WAY up.
