They also offer a dual enrollment COURSE that would cut down tremendously on the pressure of having a high score on a single test.
They do take Sophia, but that's because they are a partner school with Sophia, I'm not 100% sure that they take all ACE. For sure they take Sophia, CLEP, DSST, and AP - but if you're thinking of a degree with them, their dual enrollment courses are a FRACTION of the cost of full tuition and they meet your 25% residency requirement.
Yes, she is already dual enrolled with liberty but the classes are still $550 each which is crazy talk. She is also enrolled at Bluefield and the classes are $225 each. Liberty will take 30 ACE credits from SL, Sophia, etc towards a bachelors. She can transfer in 90 credits. We started kind of late on the dual enrollment so she currently has 3 credits from BF and we are hoping to get another 18 from BF and 12 from liberty before she graduates (this will be an exhausting year) totaling 33 DE credits. We will still need 57 credits to keep costs down before transferring. She will take Bio, A&P 1 and 2 at a local CC to gain 9-12 more credits (they need to be local to transfer into a PTA program), and 30 credits through ACE providers.
we are going backwards here. We are making her get her bachelors first before enrolling in an AS physical therapy assistant program at South University. There are relatively few core credits in that program but they need to be SACS accredited to transfer in. It sounds ridiculous but I know that if she doesn't get it now, she will probably never get it and it might hinder her later. Then again she might forgo the PTA plan altogether and continue with a Masters in Christian Counseling
