XAMK

[dfrecore]

XAMK is a Finnish university. They have a couple of free certificates/diplomas that grant ECTS. For those who haven't seen it previously, there's one on video game creation for up to 25 ECTS: https://www.xamk.fi/en/open-amk-courses/...-creation/ One in rehabilitation: https://www.xamk.fi/en/open-amk-courses/...ii-and-iv/ and a 60 ECTS diploma in tourism and business management: https://www.xamk.fi/en/open-amk-courses/...n-finland/ There are also a number of 5 ECTS courses available off and on: https://www.xamk.fi/en/openstudies/?fwp_...studies-en

Assuming WES evaluates XAMK favorably and the Big 3 accepts them, they could possibly be a good source of almost-free credits for some students. At approximately 2 ECTS = 1 semester hour credit, one would only need to transfer in 12 ECTS or more to make them (with the WES $205 course-by-course evaluation fee) on par or better than paying for SDC courses.

Ah.

Well, it will not just depend on if they will come in, but WHERE they will come in that will be the kicker.  If they're free electives, then they're less usable than you'd probably like, and there are many options for free electives that are cheaper than Study.com.

Please keep us posted on what happens with these.
