That's awesome, a pretty good price. Too bad it's only AA, but it's a great way to start out and dip your toes in the CBE waters.

They might want to stop using the phrase Flex Path though, because that's a Capella trademark, and I can't imagine Capella not trying to defend that trademark.

Wow, Oh Snap! This just dropped the price to the TESU degree as an example, if you can get 15 credits RA from this for $715, you can use ACE/NCCRS for the rest of the credits and take a 16 credit term at TESU to finish the degree for under $5K. Someone should check this out and see how to ladder into a TESU BALS or BSBA, and even at COSC or another college/university.

It's a cheap way to get 24cr of RA for TESU or COSC if you need that. ONU is $1200 for 24cr.

The only downsides are that you're a bit limited on courses; and it's unclear if you can choose your courses in a term; and you have set terms like UMPI, rather than self-paced start-when-you want like ONU.

But it's still a good option for some people.

Oh yeah, and after looking at their ACE list, it's pretty limited as well. 6 Sophia and 8 SL courses. Not sure if they're amenable to other things like CLEP, DSST, Study.com, etc. And more Sophia courses for sure.

It might be nice if someone who had a bunch of Sophia (and other) courses wanted to apply to the program, and send in the Request for Evaluation of Prior Learning
https://www.cnm.edu/students/services/tr...arning.pdf. I mean, only 6 Sophia courses are listed, and that's not nearly enough! I'll bet they'd do more, they just haven't had anyone request them.

I thought this might be an April Fools joke because that website is really BAD. And they have Guided Path and Flex Path like Capella.

I'm not sure what you think is wrong with it?  It's not any worse than most other schools I've seen.  They're all generally terrible.

Actually, after poking around on the website, I found a career assessment which was interesting and a neat resume builder.

I'm really curious to how this works out for some people. This even seems like a great stepping stone to UMPI or for people who only want an AA. This is even a great stepping stone to some of the others of the Big 5 like TESU, COSC, Excelsior, and WGU with transferrable RA credits.
