A new partnership for a self-paced degree

It's interesting, I wonder if it's gonna only be those two degrees for awhile or if they'll add more soon? It's self-paced but it seems you can only earn up to 9 credits a month.

RA school, $300/mo for 10 months min to earn 90cr (so $3000) and then $5700 for a BALS w/concentration in Early Childhood Development or BSBA in General Business. So $8700 if you start from scratch.

I think you're much better off getting a degree from one of the Big 3, or UMPI, WGU, or another competency-based programs. They also don't clarify how long it takes to get through the 30cr at the school itself, I think that part may not be self-paced? It's very unclear.

They do take ACE and NCCRS, so you're probably better off with Sophia and Study.com than Total Testing. Or at least use those first, then do TT.

They accept that you bring older credits, also appears to be a option for actual teachers.
Seems good to me, specially for people that want to have a smooth ride and no need to make a degree plan all is done for them.
Just a little more expensive than TESU but with everything in.
Is good for fresh starting students.

I agree that UMPI or the Big3 are probably better options for most people. But I'm sure that something like this would also appeal to some people. Too bad they don't have more degrees available at this time.

If you want to be an elementary school teacher, this is actually NOT a good degree to get - ECE is really for preschool.  Elementary school teachers can get degrees in education, elementary education, or anything else.

Wow, they have a great option for transferring 75% of the degree but only two degrees are offered using this route. Interestingly enough, they accept all the major options the Big 3 and CBE providers take, including NA and State-recognized courses, that's in addition to the ACE/NCCRS, CLEP, DSST and so on... They should grant more degree offerings, in the end, the cost total should be slightly more than COSC, Excelsior or UMPI/WGU even if you get 90 credits in for cheap.
