Gateway U - New Competency Based Degree Provider

@vintage_jacket, from reading their info, it seems all "work related" projects.  So, what I believe it to be is more of an assessment and assignment from completing your "projects" at work.  Seem like a pretty good deal if you gain a degree and continuously work towards a project.  It could be a project to get a specific department at work into a more effective/efficient form, or to help processes and procedures to be more conscious and resourceful.

Oh, and in regards to the tuition, it seems cheaper than UMPI even.  For example, it's 3 terms a year, so that's 4 months per term at $2,333.33... at UMPI it's $2800 for 2 sessions (4 months).  Just like UMPI, with financial aid, you can possibly get everything done and be left with some change too, with enough grant, the money left would be paying back what you used to get the alternative credits.

Good point. Perhaps the projects will be a good alternative. And you did mention that the program is from College for America.

For the financial aid, I believe if you apply for out-of-state school, the financial help you receive is a bit less. I'm not sure (never applied out of state). But if that's the case, that's something to keep in mind for anyone applying that's not in the SNHU area.

Here's an Instagram post with a bit more information, https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ48rv3rO0o/ . Something interesting to note, is that on the last slide, it says that anyone with a GED or high school diploma can apply. I'm guessing this program is not for anyone who already has an associates.

It seems like all the information can found after you meet for an information session. I may look into this program.
