Sorry, I didn't see your response until today. I applied to each of the Big 3, including Excelsior. TESU and Excelsior only accepted 70 something credits. COSC only accepted 40 something. UMGC and Liberty accepted 81 but Liberty is much cheaper with Sophia (15%) and CAP(25%) stackable discounts. The University of the Cumberlands accepted 90 credits and is the cheapest @ $220/hour with no discounts. UC was the only one to transfer all Sophia business courses for their equivalent at UC, mostly as upper level.
I really like the flexibility of Sophia. It sounds like UMPI is more similar. I'm frugal but my time is more important to me than money. Unfortunately, I don't know how many Sophia credits UMPI will accept, I have 95 plus the CSM course. I can't apply to UMPI for several months but wish UMPI would evaluate my transcript now so I know which way to proceed. I am more concerned about finishing quickly than starting immediately.
I signed up for three Coursera certificates through the Dream Academy pursuant to a post here; Intuit Bookkeeping, Salesforce Sales Development Rep and Google Project Management. I'm uncertain if these courses are accepted for college credit but the knowledge should be useful. I was not aware Coursera offered free courses worth college credit. How does one determine which free courses are accepted for college credit? Does Coursera offer business courses accepted for master's level credit?
