Money Talks - chopliver2 - 04-28-2025
In the USA money talks... by extension that USUALLY means profit and choice
When searching for quick and potentially cheap and easy University options within the United States your framework should consider places that include but are not limited to for-profit, faith, accept the lesser forms of alternative credits e.g. ACE, and accredited by certain bodies such as HLC, DEAC, or NA.
Don't hate the player, play the game.

The for-profit colleges tend not to be cheaper, quicker or better than other colleges.
When it comes to alt credits, for-profit tends to be better. Sophia, SL, Coursera, and Study.com are for-profit.

Potentially* given the low amount of rigor it could be interpreted as cheaper

No sure what this thread is all about, but... There are options, alternatives to getting to that educational goal, you don't have to follow through with the advice others provide you. I would research all avenues provided as each person things differently and does things their own way, you can decide for yourself the cost, ease, speed at which you want to finish. For-profit or non-profit, public/state, or exclusively online, institutions all have their own way of allowing students to finish and the tuition vary wildly... I always do the triple trifecta, cost, ease, speed... certs, degree, experience... A/B combo (associates/bachelors), ROI/Value, customize/personalize educational goals.
