Hodges UPower - any experiences/reviews?

[bjcheung77]

Not many alumni know about the forums, I have found only 1 person doing a quick favorable review on his Bachelors in CIT at Hodges on another sister forum, and he posted that twice. Sanantone mentioned Hodges in the forums, so I got curious about their program. When I was looking at Hodges, I found their success stories pages and there were a few that I really liked but only two mentioned UPower as it's a newer self paced program.

I read all of their Success Stories: https://www.hodges.edu/Life-at-Hodges/St...s-Stories/
These are the ones that I liked reading on, as some are "still students", I mainly wanted to read about the graduates.
There are a few that did two or three degrees at Hodges, see below, and the IT program reviews.

Hodges and WGU are both cheap/easy/fast - For WGU Bachelors, most of their programs are 35 courses total as some are 4 credits. One thing people don't know about Hodges is their transfer and residency requirements, for an Associates you can transfer in 40 credits and finish 20 residency credits, for their Bachelors you can transfer all but 32 residency credits. The kicker is, most colleges/universities, it takes 40 - 3 credit bearing courses, but WGU requires roughly 5 less and at Hodges, it's 10 less - each undergrad course is worth 4 credits. When you transfer a 3 credit course, it still is treated at a 4 credit course! (Why can't they do that for the Masters programs! As I am only interested in grad studies!)
