Hi everyone! There isn't much information here on education programs, and it's not all in one place, so since I would have found it helpful for myself, I'm compiling a list of the top colleges that are fast, cheap, or accept lots of alt credits, and what programs they have available... at a glance. Hopefully, this will help someone else!
Note: I have not included doctoral level programs in this list.
UMPI (University of Maine at Presque Isle) (YourPace)
WGU (Western Governors University)
Undergraduate programs (Leads to license) – Programs leading to teacher certification will involve you finding your own student teaching placement in your local area.
COSC (Charter Oak State College)
Associates Bachelors
TESU (Thomas Edison State University)
Graduate Certificates Masters
(I got lazy with links at this point, so only linked the schools...)
Liberty University
Note: This is a Christian school.
Associates
Master of Arts in Teaching to Education Specialist
ACE (American College of Education)
Has a variety of affordable Master's programs, all online (under $10k ea)
(Technically, has a couple undergrad programs, too, but they're cheaper/faster/etc from the other colleges above)
