Self Paced Schools? - frogdozer - 11-11-2023
What are some self paced schools that I can get cheap RA credits at? Cheap meaning under $750
I checked the wiki and have been looking at it school by school.
I need the credits fast and was wondering if anyone had any experience with this.

Arizona State University's Universal Learner Courses Program is a popular option. They offer many self-paced courses (though some are only available in an instructor-paced format) for $25 upfront + $400 after passing. It can take them a few weeks to finalize grades and transcripts but they're one of the better options for cheap graded RA credit.

UMPI is probably the cheapest, considering you do enough courses during the 8-week term, which costs $1500.
Do 6 courses, then it's $250 per course.
Do 10 courses, then it's $150 per course.
On average, each course takes around 15-30 hours to complete so you can do the math on how many courses you might be able to complete in one term.

What do you need the credits for? What subject(s)? Aside from those already mentioned, XAMK and Metropolia could be options. They're Finnish universities and you'd need to have your transcript evaluated, but they're RA-equivalent.

Sometimes it's best to have this all in one thread so you don't have to be linked back and forth... Are you trying to get these credits for entry into the Masters here? https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-Get-Prereqs-Planning-15-credits If so, you want to check if foreign equivalent works and the number you can transfer in, if they allow it, then do the ENEB Masters/MBA combo and evaluated, you get more than the 15 credits needed for less than half the price...

priority is time. need the 5 specific classes before May. Preferably by April.
Looked through the courses on ENEB and it doesn't have everything I'm looking for.

UPDATE: thanks guys
just called the school and they said that a couple free courses on coursera will suffice!!!!
RE: Self Paced Schools? - bjcheung77 - 11-14-2023
Haha, that's the spirit, just ACE recommendation for credit courses worked from Coursera... You can also take the cheapie/freebies on the WIKI that have ACE recommendation for credit (CLEP/MS, Saylor.org, Sophia.org, etc) as long as it fits into your requirements...
