New Competency Based Associate Degree

I'm really curious to how this works out for some people. This even seems like a great stepping stone to UMPI or for people who only want an AA. This is even a great stepping stone to some of the others of the Big 5 like TESU, COSC, Excelsior, and WGU with transferrable RA credits.

That's what I was thinking as well; if you're thinking of a CBE program at WGU or UMPI, this is a good way to test it out with a smaller chunk of your paycheck going towards it.  If you're thinking of going to TESU or COSC, then this is a good way to get 24cr of RA inexpensively and quickly.  Either way, it's a good option for a lot of people.

I'm super tempted to have my kid apply just to see how things come in (all RA stuff from other CC's).  She might even be amenable to picking up some credits this summer before her program begins.

I'd really want to see if they would let her choose which courses she took though.  If you're only planning on a single term there, you'd want to get the most bang for your buck.
