Peirce College Free credits

I just received an email from Peirce College now offering 13 free credits on their new program, can some confirm this.

Interesting! If you don't go to Peirce, it's really up to 12 credits because the 1-credit class probably won't transfer. And they may only be ACE credits through Coursera. But that's still a good find, thanks!

Excellent find!

Excellent find!

My question is if you enroll in the free program to get a certificate how it will be transcribed as a Google certificate or as a Peirce certificate that can be transferred as RA credit

I know they're a partner of Study.com's and there are several degrees you can get using Study.com for a big chunk of the degree. It's an $11k degree though, so there are quite a few cheaper options.

I'm sure it will be transfer credit, and will show that it's ACE.

It's really the orientation class (PRC 101) and Coursera (by enrolling as a student) that's free. You're still completing it on Coursera and transferring it in.

Here's how they transfer in: https://www.peirce.edu/transfer-credit/g...rtificates

In that case it's easier to do it via Dream Academy. I'd rather avoid dealing with additional college transcript.

Yes, you can do this in a few ways, but there's no reason to do it through Peirce for "free" ACE credits.

It's possible that it would only be a $6k degree at Peirce: https://www.peirce.edu/tuition-financial...holarships That could put it at a similar level as TESU and possibly cheaper than some CBE programs.

AFAIK, the following degrees have the most transfer credits:

BA in Liberal Studies
BS in Organizational Leadership & Management
BS in Technology Management
BS in Human Services Leadership

They have a bunch of other scholarships available, too: https://www.peirce.edu/tuition-financial...holarships

This option is not for international student, they send me this email this morning.

"I understand that you have contacted my colleague, Danielle Jones with questions. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I do need to inform you that we are not able to enroll new F1 students at this time as we are offering courses online only at this time."
