University of Northern Alabama Competency Business Degree

They accept CLEP, AP, DSST, AFCTL, IB, military and of course RA credit. Seems generous for transfer credit. Idk about ACE and NCCRS. But still could be a good option for some.

Not too expensive and 20% discount too.AACSB accredited.

Ouch, it's one of those CBE degrees that charges per credit hour. $340 in-state, $680 for students not in Alabama.

Assuming the standard 75% transfer credit acceptance, that's $10k for Alabama students and $20k for everyone else.

Theres a 20% discount it says. Plus assuming you get pell grant, scholarships, etc brings thr price down.

Liek I said not for everyone but for certain people it might make sense.

Completely agree with your "ouch"

Just wanted to confirm - I think if it is 100% online then you get $340 per credit hour as if you were in-state.

However they also have "fees" applicable so +$90 per credit hours if it's BBA. So that's $430 per hour.

However if you take 18 credits you pay flat $5100 which equals to $283/credit hour, and fees are on top of that as I understand, so that is $373 per hour. Which is still arguably too much for CBE and is higher than SNHU (I think they have $330 this year), for instance, which is crazily transfer friendly.

I've got that info there: https://www.una.edu/tuition/tuition-and-fees.html 

AACSB accreditation immediately increases price huh

It's a good program, a public/state university with the added AACSB accreditation, having said that, it's a tad expensive and out of the books for a Bachelors. If they have an option to ladder this into a Masters with a bachelors to masters option, that may be an option they should investigate further...

ah you guys are right. Also pay per credit for compentency doesn't really make sense anyways.

Pay per credit competency could work out better than subscription-priced competency for someone working through the material more slowly. Someone could want the flexible scheduling of competency-based without wanting to speedrun it.
