RBA degree question

[bjcheung77]

If one resides outside of WV what's the point of an RBA? Why not just go for a BA?

I live in Massachusetts. I'm earning My RBA through Marshall University because:
1) They took my entire Pierpont BOG AAS as a block transfer. All of my Sophia courses were applied without issue when I send the transcript through Parchment.
2) WVROCKS UL courses are only available to RBA students, which are $250 per credit and delivered entirely online. In my state, community college classes cost at least that much.
3) The academic forgiveness policy that the BOG program has also applies to RBA. All failing grades more than 4 years old can be excluded from your GPA, but you become ineligible for honors.

They also waived the $100 enrollment fee and the class descriptions list if they are writing intensive, which are a nice bonus.

Why did you chose the RBA over the Big 3 or UMPI, and other CBE programs?  To be clear... Are the residency requirements the 15 UL credits that I mentioned earlier in a post or the 24 UL credits residency?  If you can transfer everything into the degree except the 15 UL credits (15x$250=$3750), it's a pretty good and inexpensive program.  If the 24 credits residency (24x$250=$6000) is the only thing required and everything can be transferred, that'll be on par if not more expensive than the Big 3 or CBE programs.
