Texas A&M sub-$10K Cyber Security Bac degree!

[dcan]

As small of a percent of the degree seeking population we are, we’re the trailblazers for this revolutionized algorithm for obtaining a college degree. As the ripple spreads, hopefully we’ll see more of this kind of stuff, from more colleges, offering more options in the near future.

I like to think that places like this forum do receive some notice by entrepreneurial minds in education and lead to changes like this. Maybe it's only wishful thinking, but I do find it interesting that with Texas A&M the "back was broken" so to speak by using "alternate" credit methods. Even CLEP was mentioned. I was glad Excelsior created the $10K degree last year (really just getting paid $10K to do what we do here for free) but I'm stunned that a major state brand like Texas A&M would do this. I know how government bureaucracies and education works and this kind of thing did not happen overnight. They've been talking about this intensey at the state and local levels for many months to get to this point.
