Hey,
I looked at this program, but I'm not sure they are RA. I know they are more expensive than the big 3 and I think the RA was the kicker. I'm doing EC's BS in Health Sciences majoring in Healthcare Management along with a few others here. You may want to look into it. I know COSC also has a similar program, but since they don't do majors, just concentrations that is the only reason I didn't go that route. I actually liked the COSC courses better as they fit my experience more closely. I also would wonder about their name recognition. I also don't know that they allow / accept CLEP / DSST exams. Just make sure you carefully weigh all your options. I will tell you that a lot of these "private" schools like Ashford tell you what you want to hear and promise you a lot, but after you pay and sign on the dotted line you find out otherwise. Spend the time to research before, including the BBB and the state board of education and attorney general in the state they operate out of. You are committing a lot of time and money and you need to make sure you will get what you pay for!
