Modern States Education Alliance - Freshman Year for Free - publius2k4 - 01-31-2015
Greetings old friends. I apologize for my absence from this forum over the last few months.
I found Modern States Education Alliance, a company founded in Dec 2014, while researching President Obama's new "free community college" initiative. The company is basically going to be creating online courses for most (if not all) AP and CLEP courses. The learning materials would all be supplied to students for free, meaning that the only cost to the student is the exam fees.
I know other companies like this are out there already, but it's nice reading about a fresh take on an old idea.
Check them out! Modern States Education Alliance

This is a nice addition since Education Portal started charging.

This is wondeful! I hope they are able to negotiate lower costs on the AP/CLEP tests for those who complete the courses.
