What do you think about Peirce College?

[RaiponceRapunzel]

I found Peirce College through Sophia Learning and they’re a partner school. They seem to be very transfer friendly allowing between 90-102 credit hours of transfer towards certain degrees. Their website, at least to me was transparent about this. I know it’s more expensive compared to other unis, but I think they’re comparable to UMPI or TESU in terms of accepting alternative credits.

There's nothing really special about Peirce College that makes it better, faster, cheaper than the main colleges we recommend here on DF.

Sample Peirce College Degree Roadmap

Some of the popular colleges here on DF:

Traditional Colleges (with deadlines for assignments)

• TESU (with transfer credit, you may only need to take 1-2 courses at TESU to graduate)
  
• UoPeople
  
• SNHU
  
• UMGC
  
• LU
  

Competency-Based Education (CBE)

• UMPI
  
• TAMUC
  
• WGU
  
• PUG
  

You can choose whatever college you want though it helps if there is an equivalency chart for transfer credit to make it easier to plan a degree.

Mi FtHi! Thanks for the reply! I did see the Peirce College wiki page, but it looks incomplete? There doesn’t seem to be any charts filled out for the degree programs like Business Administration. Has no one from Degree Forum applied and received an evaluation from them?

I have looked into TESU a lot and I do like how you can pay a residency waiver fee to just complete the cornerstone and capstone course. I’m still doing research.

Honestly, Peirce College does have a very generous credit transfer and they also encourage students to earn various certifications from Coursera like the Google and IBM ones for credit. That’s what drew my interest to the school. I’m actually in touch with an admissions counselor right now.

Once I get more info from her, I’ll share it here. I just think it’s good to be aware of many programs as possible. The main ones on degree forum are great, but it’s cool to consider others.

I would be surprised to see someone complete a degree from them considering the costs. Many people prefer to save money. Some want the word university on thier diploma. For TESU you will need RA credits which Sophia credits are not.
