There is no cheaper RA school for a masters in psychology than Capella's FlexPath programs. If you make the assumption that a person didn't do his or her research, then you would be wrong. Also, the admissions requirements are different for the FlexPath programs, but they're still open enrollment. In other words, admission is not competitive. You just need to meet the minimum requirements.
Keep in mind that none of the FlexPath programs are designed for licensure. You'll likely end up getting jobs that only require a bachelors in psychology.
No one here is going to know how Capella will deal with no GPA. You have to ask them.

Hahaha....and when I wrote that I totally wondered what funny name YOU would give capella.....its almost too bad a school like striperella has some decent programs. Any good is overshadowed by their history......I would still stick them at the bottom of the pile.
Really, it's too bad. I'd drop them just like I'd drop if U if Phallus even without knowing the applicants former employer had a sweetheart deal that actually made going there attractive. Unfortunately schools like this are judged on past actions. ��

My nickname for them has been Cahella for a couple of years. It's not as good as University of Penis, University of Phallus, or Deprive University.

I'm still unsure about the AA. After davewill's post, I have been seriously interested and looking at it in more detail. It's going to be more effort than I thought. One of the factors for me is grades. I feel that I would have a hard time accepting B grades and therefore I would be putting more effort to make an A if possible. I think that future potential employers and schools would see my GPA for the AA degree, and it would look bad having less than an A- from a junior college. This alone makes me wonder about skipping the AA.
Then again, even if I skip the AA degree, these classes could be part of my record, and I'm not sure about getting less than an A- still. I wish I had more money so I could avoid this community college completely, or possibly go to a different one. I actually would enjoy working hard on these classes, but I don't want it to delay my BSBA more. I need to be spending time on studying for the TECEP, getting other exams done, etc.

I wouldn't put lots of extra effort into an associate's, that's for sure. I could have had one at TESU if I cleared one extra course, and didn't bother.

That AA or AS is just a nice marker of progress. Outside of vocational programs most employers will be unimpressed and the way we do things around here halfway only means 6 more months. I wouldn't stress over it unless you need the motivation of marking 60 credits.

I have all the courses for the ASBA and didn't bother adding it to my graduation application. It's a waste of time, effort, and money.

I know everyone is jumping on board saying it's a waste. Sure it is normally, but my reason is not for gaining new employment. It's for grad school entrance (in case I don't go to Capella, which has a bad reputation) since my Bachelor's would not be in the same field.
Also, I think it might help increase my income for 1-2 years at current employer (but it's not too likely) or help me financially in another specific way.
However, it's probably not worth it anyway, for me, because this could slow me down by 2 months.
