PUG, SNHU, UMass Global, and other RA institutions that accept up to 90 ACE credits or 75% of undergraduate requirements are regularly mentioned in this subforum.  Most of the time, people are asking for methods to start the process, I've been recommending people to take up to 90 credits from alternative credit providers to max that credit before enrolling at the institution of choice.

Study.com comes to mind, as they offer upper division courses that many ACE providers don’t—making it easier to knock out major requirements early. Courses - Designed for working adults, parents, or busy students—self-paced and fully online. Study.com removed unnecessary quizzes and assignments, so students can focus on learning and progressing faster. Final exams are now open-book and open-note. No proctoring = less pressure, more flexibility.

College Starter – $95/month: Unlimited courses (in a month), enroll in 2 at time (lower division)
College Saver – $235/month: Access to all upper + lower division, enroll in 3 courses at a time, with no limit on how many you can take in a month

An example of using Study.com to max those alternative credits for transfer, if you completed 6 courses in one month using the $95 plan, that’s just about $15 per course. Way below the cost of most providers, and you’re earning real, transferable college credit.

Curious what others here think—especially those who’ve used Study.com in the past. Are these the changes you were hoping for?

University of The People recently obtained RA and they've kept their tuition free model, the fees seem to be the same and haven't changed since then.  Prospective students are enrolling and wondering about the alternative providers to use in order to complete their degree within cost, time, and to max their credit transfers...

UMPI degrees are somewhat flexible and there are several majors and/or minors that interest prospective students, most students I see are having a hard time deciding where to obtain transferable credit.  There is information on the WIKI for degree plans, but with the recent changes at Study.com, you may want to investigate using them as an alternative credit provider to max your transfer credits before you start your UMPI degree.

As always, create a spreadsheet of the requirements, use it for reference and tracking purposes and also max your transfer with alternative credit. Study.com just rolled out a major update: No more unnecessary quizzes, no proctoring, no busywork, 100% online and self-paced, and new pricing models.

WGU is a great exclusively online institution that has several states endorsing them. For individuals looking at WGU degrees, they have particular requirements, and I usually recommend trying to max your transfer credits before enrolling at the institution.  As always recommended, review their partners.wgu.edu for alternative credit providers and create a spreadsheet of requirements for reference and tracking purposes...

For $95/month you can complete as many lower-division courses as you can manage, 2 at a time. If you hustle, the cost-per-course drops fast. They even removed proctoring requirements which are huge for flexibility. Upper division access is available too if you want to knock out tougher credits.

Let me know what you think of the changes — these seems like it's what I am looking for from Study.com

COSC has made various changes to their degree requirements and the alternative credit providers that they will accept.  Some members may find it harder than before to complete a degree due to these requirements.  I would recommend creating a spreadsheet and planning carefully yet resourcefully to get to your degree goal and finish.

Study.com is an approved provider within their directory, I suggest investigating that route for max transfer of alternative credits, especially when they provide upper level credits that may go towards your degree requirements, or if you want to knock out tougher credits cheaper, easier, faster than a traditional college...

Does anyone have or know of a good degree plan for an Economics major? Or just know good sources to get Upper Division Economics credit? I've only found good credit for intro micro/macro, I can't seem to find any other cheap economics credit

Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out to see if anyone else has had trouble getting their documents from Structuralia sent to WES for evaluation. I completed my Master’s with them, and it's been almost three months since I requested the transcript to be sent, but WES still hasn't received anything.I've followed up several times and asked for a tracking number, but I haven’t received it. It’s been difficult to reach the right person for a proper update.Has anyone here experienced something similar? Were you eventually able to get your WES evaluation done successfully? Any advice would be appreciated.Thank you!

Tried to search myself but didn't find something.
Are there any Master degrees with proctored exams available - instead of writing papers? Each course a proctored exam (multiple choice) and you be done?
