Can I complete the majority of a degree on Study.com or a similar site?

I know you can take courses at Study.com and transfer them to universities for credit. I've looked at the transfer guides.

Does anyone know if you can complete the majority of a degree this way? I'm thinking it'll be much more cost effective. Or, in your experience, is it generally just a handful of courses? 

Thanks!

The short answer is, "Yes". There are definitely schools and degree programs where you could get more than half of your credits from Study.com. One of the most popular subjects on this board is the concept of a DIY degree. This is enabled by the Big3 schools (TESU, COSC, Excelsior) which allow you get get all but 6 credits from alternative sources (although not all from one provider). We call it a DIY degree because you have to do all the degree planning on your own (the school won't really help, but we will). You should spend some time reading here, and you will quickly get the idea. When you feel ready to start, post here what credits you currently have and what kind of degree you would like to earn.
