Sophia Learning - New membership levels and pricing

[bjcheung77]

Isn't it likely that they'll apply to colleges that won't accept Sophia credit?

It all depends, the Big 3 and CBE's all transfer in ACE credit, many members on the board here are specifically wanting to get college degrees the cheap, easy, fast route. Some try to add a bit of ROI/Value while trying to get their Associates, Bachelors, or even at the Masters level. You can always ladder from an average or above average ranking school to a better one...

Close to 2900+ schools accept CLEP, 1900+ accept ACE, and 1500+ accept NCCRS credits for transfer into their degrees, further to that, many schools allow up to 75% transfer. We recommend schools that are either Public/State colleges and universities or ones that provide a degree for a reasonable price using either competency based education or alternative credit friendly...

Just to let you know (and others who are reading), when I did an "evaluation" of the Big 3 and the CBE options, the bulk of them actually ranked in "my personal" list of top 10% in the entire country of about 6 thousand schools and the worst few of them were in the top 20%. If that matters to you, you shouldn't really need to worry about these Regionally Accredited institutions.

My methodology was to "map" out the ones who were ranked on 4 websites and filtered them by the rankings those 4 sites had for each of the Big 3 and CBE options, each and every one of them made the top 1500 schools on each website list, Excelsior actually beat out TESU on two of them but I still chose TESU.... anyways, it's all personal preferences when you choose a school. Find your preference.
