Has this been mentioned here yet?

Nope, they've not, nor have they been mentioned on the sister board (DegreeInfo). I've seen their webpage before and even emailed them for more info. Essentially, they're a paid service that provide similar info as what you can find on either board, DegreeInfo or DegreeForum, it seems more like a 'package deal', but you're paying for info that's readily available here.
Furthermore, their partners are the main institutions we talk about on this board, so the degree plans are already here! I think they're just copying what we've already done and getting paid for it, similar to many other web sites. Lastly, their cheapest degree is roughly twice as expensive, most likely due to all the fees they charge for providing any type of advice or service.

I notice they offer some self paced online classes in interesting and varied topics such as natural security UL courses, wine making and history of rock and roll.
Dividing 13,500 USD from 120 credits, it would be around 330 USD per each 3 credit course. They are classified as NCCRS credit and accepted at TESU.
Seems like you can sign up and theoretically only take 1 class if that is all you want. There might be some people that would like more UL online options for Criminal Justice degrees.
Would just need someone in the forum to sign up and ask an advisor if they can just take the courses they are interested in and send to TESU and see what the transcript looks like.

$330 per credit for NCCRS is expensive. You can get RA credit for less.
