Getting your Master with alternative credit sources
#11
The EDU courses from Advancement Courses, VESi, PBS Teacherline, etc. can be used toward Amberton University's Master of Professional Studies. Some certifications, such as CPP from ASIS, are evaluated by ACE as graduate-level. A couple of schools give graduate credit for the PMP and CISSP certifications. Statistics.com has at least one ACE-recommended course that is graduate-level.

BTW - I know you didn't ask, but I don't think anyone on this forum recommends a MA from any of the Big 3.  They are just WAY too expensive.  There are better options almost anywhere else.

I didn't know that they are one of the most expensive. But at the other hand, if you could bring in credit from other sources that it might be even the cheapest option.

I am looking for a master degree. The quicker and cheaper the course, the better.  It just have to be regional accredited.

The quickest and cheapest for the majority of people are the competency-based degrees. If you have prior knowledge or have a lot of time, you can finish in 6 months, possibly less.

That is with having no transfer credits. There's not a lot of places to get transfer credits that apply to these anyway, not cheap or quick.

They typically require a lot of papers to be written as well as a Capstone. It's not like testing out through CLEP or Study.com.

A lot of the competency-based degrees are either an MBA, an IT degree, or an Education degree. WGU offers all three of those. JFK University has an MBA. Purdue Global has an MBA. NAU has a Computer Info Tech degree. Capella has a fairly bad reputation but has some other options.

Some are under $4000 when you finish quickly. Non-competency based is typically $6500-12000 or more, even with the maximum, cheapest transfer credits. And often you have to attend for at least a full year.

Actually I have found this national accredited university : https://www.uopeople.edu/programs/ba/deg...erability/

This is a tuition free university that allows credits to be transferred up to 50% of the total amount of credits. I'll have a look what they accept as valid credits.

Earlier you mentioned that you need your degree to be regionally accredited. As you just said, U of People is nationally accredited.

Even bringing in credit, they're still not the cheapest options.
