Efficient Associate degree plan from scratch

[cwendy111]

Snow College has a competency-based online A.S. degree, you can get a scholarship to make it the cost of in-state ($1,743 for a 4-month term), so you could actually have him do 1 or 2 terms, and get all 60cr needed for an AS, they'd all be RA credits which would make it much easier to transfer into a school for a bachelor's degree somewhere (as opposed to having a bunch of ACE/NCCRS credit which will be harder to manage). Most schools do not take an AA/AS degree as a full block transfer - meaning they do not just bring it in and say "this AA = the first 60cr of our bachelor's degree." Instead, they look course by course, so you'd have to choose a school that accepted ACE/NCCRS credit.

Thank you! A competency based model? I will def check them out. As a WGU grad x 2, I am a big fan of the competency based model. After all the remote online learning he has done since COVID, he is also. We are going slowly. 1 course at a time. I don't want him to end up with a mass of loose credits like I did, so I'm trying to plan it out better and mix it up with courses of interest, hence the XAMK find for his gaming interest. I like RA credits as they tend to have more guided study for topics not yet learned. The general studies courses will also count for HS credit if we ever change our minds and go back to traditional HS. My path was a crazy mess. Trying not to repeat that same mistake.
