NAU PL CIT BS then masters? - pluggingalong - 03-24-2016
I just started looking at Northern Arizona University "Personalized Learning" BS in Computer Information Technology, and was trying to determine if a Master's Degree could be pursued (anywhere) afterwards. I like the flat-rate, task-based credits, and work-at-your-own-pace features of the school, but I think some people here had some reservations about it. I have credits from other brick-mortar schools, but I don't have any certs - so if the problem was cert acceptance, that might not affect me. It would be great if a Masters could be pursued after getting the BS IT, but perhaps other schools do not respect NAU PL?
I was hell-bent on COSC, but I like what I see at NAU, too. Any suggestions?
Edit: Oops, meant to put this in the Graduate school forum.

Hello,
NAU is regionally accredited so you are going to be on the same level as most brick and mortar institutions.
Other schools that use the same type of competency based learning are Patten, Hodges, WGU.
In fact, COSC, TESU and Excelsior are also regionally accredited.
You should get the BS and move onto a similar Masters. Hope this helps.
You should also be able to take graduate studies at most regionally accredited institutions later on.

Should be as transferable, employable, and masters qualifying as any other regionally accredited school.

I don't think it will show as "Personalized Learning" on your degree. It will just show that you got a BS in CIT, not HOW you got it.
