The last thread I could find on here about it was from 2008 when it was the Association for Hebraic Studies Institute. Now it is a DEAC-accredited university with programs in Jewish Studies, education, and business (all through an Orthodox Jewish lens). They take up to 90 transfer credits for a bachelors. Undergrad tuition is $60/credit and graduation fee is $1500, bringing the degree to $3300 plus whatever you paid for your transfer credits if you transfer the full 90 in.
Anyone have experience with them?

Basically, it may be a better idea to click or use the Subscribe to this thread link on the bottom left menu instead of replying indicating you're doing so to keep track of the thread. Previously, I didn't know about that menu until someone mentioned it to me before I became a mod...
Genesis University seems like a good deal, I've recommended them before to those who are looking for a {DEAC} Bachelors with a major in Education degree. Their classes are also NCCRS, thus, they'll transfer to some RA institutions such as TESU if you ever wanted a second degree in another subject area... Pricing is somewhat affordable at $180/class.

Yes, I was thinking they might be an option for courses for a Religion major at TESU for those wanting to go in that direction. Although I am not sure that all of their courses are NCCRS these days. It's always good to check.

But now that TESU accepts NA, NA without NCCRS works for them!

Good point! Though I thought the NA was on a case-by-case basis?

UMPI seems to accept NA on a case-by-case basis. For TESU I haven’t seen a stipulation that it’s case-by-case, though it is a new policy with little public information.

I posted more evidence on a TESU thread that TESU’s acceptance of NA credit seems is now a matter of policy, not just case-by-case.

Update: I've corresponded with this school and the religious studies degree appears to who have study at a yeshiva or a Jewish seminary as a prerequisite. Many of the courses listed in their catalog appear to be for transfer equivalents, not actually offered at the university. So similar to the COSC Judaic studies concentration in that respect.

I once contacted them about their NCCRS-approved accounting courses, and it turned out that they didn't offer any of them. The courses were provided by a non-collegiate education company, and the cost was higher than Geneva's tuition.
