Need Help finding cheap transferable collegecredit(Straighterline, Propero, Coursera

UptonSinclair Wrote:Since you mentioned Grantham, I thought I would share my experience. I took one semester of courses through Grantham while I was in the military. The credits I completed there are not worth the paper they are printed on. They were rejected by both the local community college and Excelsior. There are far better options in online education.

There are a couple of issues with the ABET senario. First, your degree at Grantham is a technology degree and not an engineering degree. There are few Masters of Engineering who accept technology degrees even if they are ABET technology degrees. Most are geared toward Engineers. Second, even if Grantham were regionally accredited it would be extremely difficult to get into a Masters of Engineering with a Bachelors that isn't ABET.

If I were you, I would cut my losses and leave Grantham today. If you are interested in an Engineering Masters, your online options are very limited - Arizona State University and University of North Dakota. The second requires campus visits in the Summer.

I am sorry to share such bad news, but education is far to expensive to sugar coat the reality.

I wanted to update my post with a link to reviews both good and bad from former Grantham students so you have more opinions than just mine. There are some professions where accreditation may not be a big deal, but in Engineering I am afraid you will face an uphill battle.

Good luck with your journey

Aren't computer engineering graduate programs also accepting of computer science, mathematics, and related degrees? That would give the OP more online options for an undergraduate degree. I don't know how common this is, but I came across a graduate computer engineering program that only required ABET accreditation for undergraduate degrees in engineering. If one's degree was in computer science, then only regional accreditation was required.
