BS/BA CompSci/WebDev/Graphic Design

Wow! I really wonder how much you can get from this, have Guild Education pay for all the Penn Foster (ACE recommended credits) Sophia.org/Study.com courses in addition to the 7 credits for an Excelsior University BSLA with some courses in whatever you're doing, plus a PUG Excel-track or SNHU, UMASS Global, degree by transferring 75% into either of these programs.  Here are the providers and schools they partner with.  Link: https://schools.guildeducation.com/

You can do some Modern States if you need any Gen Eds. Free credits.

I forgot that Guild is in play here; and also, I know that Guild treats some schools differently - some are paid up front while others are reimbursed, some have a limit on number of courses per year, while others don't.

I would definitely use it to pay for Sophia and SDC if possible. Then, from the schools on the list, I know these schools are all HCT and take ACE credit:
- Bellevue University has a BS or a BAS in CIS, a BS in MIS, a BA in Graphic Design, a BS in SW Dev, and a BS in Web Design
- CSU Global has a BS in CompSci, Cybersec & IT
- SNHU has a BS in CIS, BS in CompSCi, BA in Graphic Design, and a BA/BS in IT
- UMGC has CompSci, Graphic Comm, MIS, SW Dev, and Web Design
- Wilmington University has a BS in Animation & 3D, CompSci, Game Design, Graphic Design, IS, and Web Design

For the SNHU degree plan (https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/SN...egree_Plan) I think the major electives is incorrect. The school’s website states “Major Electives or choose a Concentration
12 credit(s) from subject(s): CS CYB, DAD, DAT, GAM, or IT within the range of course numbers 300 - 499” and the degree plan shows 100-499. Anyone can confirm this is the correct information?

I'd go with the 300-499 range, since that's in the catalog: https://www.snhu.edu/admission/academic-.../V1S14E8tg

The SNHU plan was updated. You will need 300+ UL courses.

Finally got word back that they’re approving the “College Start: IT/Business” with my preferred substitution courses of Calculus I and Intro to Programming with Python via Sophia. They will be paying for Sophia upfront. Won’t start until September 1st though!

For SDC, they’ll cover it as a tuition reimbursement since I can’t do two college start programs. I’m okay with that since they’re covering Sophia right now.

Any suggestions as to the best way to utilizing the SDC membership? I thought I seen a post regarding it but can’t seem to find it.

The best option is to save 30% on the first 3 months membership at Study.com, any other referrals or ways of slicing the membership won't be as discounted as this... you can review post #31 for the code if you're starting the membership: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid371152

Wouldn't you be better off paying out-of-pocket for the cheaper Sophia membership, and then having your work cover the more expensive SDC membership?

I reached out again about that and Study.com seems to be less flexible. They won’t allow course substitutions unlike Sophia where they said I can make the changes prior to the start date.
