Patten vs Straighterline

[Photog]

I noticed Patten University from Koenigtv post earlier about the September special (thanks for that) and it seems to be a very good deal for earning credits.

An AA in Gen ed with a business concentration pretty much covers the Gen ed. requirements at one of the big three.
So completing 20 courses in six months would only work out at $1700 (with the current offer)

Completing 20 courses at Straighterline in six months would cost $1600, that doesn't include renting/buying books, and there is no AA degree at that end of it.


Am I missing something?
will an AA from Patten transfer ok to TESC later to complete a bachelors?
I think 20 courses in 6 months is doable at Straighterline, but can it be done at Patten?


I can't do Clep or DSST exams because of my location. Straighterline, TECEP and Saylor are the easiest way for me to earn gen ed credits.
