Cheap, Easy, Fast Degree - Help Please
#18
Reference: You can transfer unlimited credits from all sources regardless of where they're from, but what will come into the degree is as follows, a mix/match to get you to the max of 114 credits.

For TESU, 114 from 4 year colleges/universities
90 credits from ACE/NCCRS sources.
90 credits from foreign sources
90 credits from CCs

For Excelsior, 113 from all sources above, including NA institutions. For COSC, they're similar to TESU, but the numbers are slightly different... It depends on the institution you're looking at, you should once again, review links, such as this one comparing institutions: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Ch...University

Question: So I went through the links but now I'm even more confused... why do some people take courses from different schools? for example someone was doing their degree with charter oaks but took a couple courses with Penn foster.
Answer: The course they were looking for is cheaper at Penn Foster, Penn Foster is NA but they have ACE recommendation for credit. Taking a course at COSC may costs hundreds more and take longer to complete. We recommend taking the cheaper, easier, faster option for ROI/Value.

Question: Also why chose to go through study.com for example if the course has a 100 quizzes and several exams?
Answer: Same as above, some courses also are not available from other providers, example, I/We usually recommend Sophia.org for lower level, Study.com for upper level. Courses at the institutions can cost a few hundreds to a grand per course, using ACE/NCCRS options, it can be from a few dollars to a couple hundred.

Question: Also I read in one of the links that TESU allows up to 90 credits but has too be from a single source. Does that mean we can only use Sophia.com for example?
Answer: It's Sophia.org not .com, the single source it's referring to is from ACE/NCCRS, not a single provider. You need 30 RA credits at TESU (foreign credits count towards this number), 90 can be ACE/NCCRS max.

Question: Another question is I read charter oaks let's you test out on like 90 percent of the business administration degree is that true? Also what do u guys know about charter oaks in compared to TESU?
Answer: COSC is no longer as 'easy', they have made more changes. Both COSC/TESU allow 114 credits transferred in, Excelsior lets 113. The courses they accept ranges. You should remove COSC from your list in favor of Excelsior and TESU.

Question: Also how can I find out for example which school has the least writing? And which one has only multiple choice exams or mostly? So basically like which one is the easiest?
Answer: You're only taking the Info Lit at Excelsior plus the Cornerstone/Capstone, At COSC/TESU, you only take the Cornerstone/Capstone. At UMPI, you take 30 credits residency. All of them you can take approved courses from any provider they accept into their degree, you can take non proctored courses or exams.
