Another Newbie Question

The Big 3/WGU are the most popular schools on this board because of the degrees they provide and the option to transfer 90 credits into their degrees. There are other providers, we have talked about that are similar to WGU which are also competency based, schools such as Brandman, Northern Arizona University, Purdue Global and so on - such as the for profits, APUS, Capella, Walden, etc, it all boils down to who gives you the most credits and allows you to complete it cheapest/easiest/fastest...

Note: Big 3 allow up to 114 credits transferred into their degree programs, WGU and other Competency Based degree providers only allow up to 90 (which is amazing, compared to other schools who allow up to 30-60 credits transferred). Big 3 requires a cornerstone/capstone to be done, and for the competency ones, you need to "finish" courses according to your schedule/timeline, some who are experienced in the subject matter can get those done amazingly fast - 30 credits in 6 months.
