As APUS Joins Straighterline as a" partner college"....

It seems that the American Public University System (APUS)- the parent "company" of the American Military University (AMU) and American Public University (APU) has joined the list of colleges accepting Straighterline courses as transferable into their programs. In a recent release by straighterline and which can be found at StraighterLine Entry-Level Coursework to be Accepted for Transfer Credit by American Public University System , " (APUS) will now accept up to nine transfer credits earned from a choice of 10 entry-level StraighterLine general education courses."

I think this is a welcome development as many schools join the "league" of colleges accepting CBEs and other affordable testing out options which afford students the opportunity to learn, earn college degree faster, and ofcourse without having to break the bank. "This partnership" states Dr. Karan Powell, APUS executive vice president and provost, "provides a convenient pathway for these students to continue their studies toward a quality online bachelor’s degree with either American Public University or American Military University.”

Though APUS seems to limit the number of credits they accept..., I think if one reports Straighterline credits on ACE transcript, they (APUS) should accept everything insofar as the credits meet the course requirement for which one is utilizing them for.

APUS is a for-profit university, but from what I have read about them in the past, they seem to be one of the choices on many folks minds alongside the "Big Three", WGU,...
