Flexible schools other than the Big Three?

This may not matter, but the entire APUS system now caps alternative credit at 30 for a bachelor's degree- so that includes ACE / CLEP/ AP / PLA /etc.  If his associate's degree contained any of those, they'll "unbundle" his degree and count them toward that total.   They are on the less expensive side for people who want grades and are using aid.  They used to have multiple options for course length (8, 16, and even 5 week I think) but I'm not seeing that on their website now, so I don't know if that's still an option.  But, if he's using aid, there will be parameters for the terms as well as number of classes to take.

Aside from the alternative credit cap, I love AMU/APU.  I think they have some of the coolest majors around.

I think their Explosive Ordnance Disposal Certificate sounds AWESOME, and it's what made my kid start thinking that college could be good as a first step to getting into the military (as opposed to just joining at 18).  I still think about taking that degree for fun!

I didn't know about the 30cr cap, that totally sucks.  Their prices are decent ($270/cr for bachelor's degrees, and $350/cr for master's degrees), and the 8-week courses, and rolling starts make them a much better prospect for working adults.

It also looks like they do a block-transfer of an AA meeting the 30cr requirement for their 30cr of Gen Eds which is a good deal.

They have so many choices for majors for both BA and MA, as well as tons of certificates available (both BA and MA).

But that 30cr cap really throws a wrench in the works.
