Not sure how useful it is for our purposes, but it looks like they're rolling out a handful of associate degrees with GGU. $149/credit, and it looks like a Coursera cert is included? Not a whole lot of details on the site as of now.

$149/credit hour, max 45 transfer credits (no specific comments on ACE/alternative sources, but "military credit and work experience"), traditional financial aid available.

Very interesting. If the couses offered through the GGU program are useful, it could be a good opportunity assuming one has acceptable transfer credits. 

Interesting tidbit: GGU is trying to attract more civilians to their programs right now to satisfy the 85/15 rule(no more than 85% of student body can be veterans using GI Bill funding). Because of the way VA funding works based off of location, GGU is very attractive to GI Bill users so they recently maxed out their 85%. Launching a highly scalable program like this at a low cost could drastically increase their student body while having most of their courses outsourced, so they could presumably attract a lot more civvies and as a result, admit more GI Bill users who bring in the majority of "revenue."

From the GGU website:

The Degrees+ program is open to students residing in nearly all states within the United States. Golden Gate University is not authorized to offer online courses to students residing in Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Washington D.C., or Wisconsin. We recommend students have earned at least a high school diploma, GED, or equivalent. You must be 13 or older and willing to commit yourself academically to enroll in our courses. Students attempting Degrees+ courses should be ready for the academic rigor of college-level coursework. Be sure to pick the right courses for both your ability and your long-term goals.

Interesting, does anyone happen to know why they wouldn't be authorized in certain states?
