Low residency requirements

[jansroots]

Low Residency, CLEP friendly, and Class Friendly:

Strayer University (online or registered w/ a campus) only require 6 classes for each degree (i.e. effectively, it's 3 classes for each yr of school.) and online classes count towards it. You can CLEP/DSST the rest, and they have CLEP facilities at all their branches in the Learning Center.

Also a helpful hint. Unlike some of the other online universities, almost all Strayer's online classes are offered in both asynchronous and synchronous modes. You'll get higher scores on the async classes because none of your grades are for "project" activities where you work with other students in teams for your grade. My sister and one of my daughters lost their 4.0 because of the other students on the project.

BTW -- I would recommend registering at a nearby campus, if feasible. While I'm taking all my classes online, I have found that if for some reason you need an exception or something, you have more resources available. For example, I was running into a problem w/ a class, and my academic advisor suggested that I talk w/ one of the campus professors 1:1 during their office hours... Even though they weren't my professor.

Just a thought, but I work 50 - 60 hrs a week and have managed to maintain a 4.0 as a result, and am working on 9 CLEP tests. (Just passed the first one) so I can get my Assoc in BA in 1 yr instead of 2. I'll do the same for my BBA, as well, though one of the classes won't translate to CLEP, so I need one extra semester or try 3 classes in one semester.

Drop me a note, if you have any questions... (And, no... I don't get a commission or own stock... )
