Associate's in Early Childhood Education - options?

Does your friend have any credits already? Or a preference between testing/ online course options?

There are credits. She prefers courses.
It seems to me that in this case, Excelsior would be cheaper than TESU. Am I right?
By my brief estimate, she'll need English Comp, Info Literacy, Capstone and area of focus for AS. She has a few credits, so VESi might be just enough (or perhaps add a few PF classes to round it up).

Have your friend join PAOG as an associate member for $25/ year:
Join The POAG | Peace Officers Association of Georgia

She would then be eligible for partner pricing:
Excelsior College | Peace Officers Association of Georgia

This is a ballpark of fees due to Excelsior with partner pricing. She would need a 3 hour Capstone.

Excellent, thank you so much!

What would be the best source for English Comp and Info Literacy these days?

Straighterline, Tor College Credits, or Coopersmith Career Consulting.

Hi guys,

Asking for a friend. What would be the best path to an Associate degree in ECE in any of the Big Three? Specifically, here's my criteria:
"(a) relate to the practice of early childhood education;
(b) be from a program of at least four semesters in length; and
© be granted by a post secondary institution recognized and authorized to grant
diplomas or degrees in its own jurisdiction and, for institutions outside Canada,
evaluated by World Education Services as recognized in Canada."

Obviously, this is for recognition in Canada 9Ontario). Last year I helped another friend, and Ashworth College seemed like the best option. Back then the criteria stated that the institution has to be "recognized in its province of jurisdiction" rather than "recognized in Canada". Even though Ashworth is, clearly, recognized in Georgia, this resulted in protracted struggle detailed here:
DEAC in Canada - need help ASAP

Well, apparently the experience prompted the College to tighten the requirements, so now the degree needs to be RA to qualify (WES Canada definition of "recognized"). Any suggestions?

Clovis Community College has an ECE Associate's Degree. Clovis is regionally accredited.Early Childhood Education
