Columbia Southern Candidate For Regional Accrediation

[dfrecore]

Has anyone tried to transfer a course from here to TESU before? Sergeants Association is offering a free class here, but there is no point if TESU won't take it. Not sure if general rules about NA credit change once somewhere is under RA review.

EU will take NA credit.

Well as of December 6th, they are now regionally accredited! I can now finish that Master's Degree

For Master's degrees, maybe. But they only accept CLEPs and DSSTs; they don't appear to accept other forms of credit like Study.com or Sophia.

Looks like it could be a great option for military or high school students going the CLEP route.

I have just found something that may be interesting. After better looking at their articulation agreement page I found that Sophia is on the list: https://www.columbiasouthern.edu/admissi...dit-to-csu

Looks like an agreement with Sophia was signed recently (and it seems to me very generous): https://www.columbiasouthern.edu/media/f...a_8015.pdf

Also, they use RPNow as their proctoring service.

I don't remember seeing this last time I checked, anyway the note on their tuition page reads as follows:
