I heard, all the time, that for my bachelors i should stay away from NA schools and stick with RA. Is that the same case with a Masters? I spoke with someone from CCU about it, and they informed me NA is only an issue if im going into Psychology or Education (Which is neither the case). Im looking for a simple Masters to complete, just to complete, for personal accomplishment reasons and for my resume.
There's always education snobs. There are people who thumb their nose on CLEP and the Big 3. The federal government doesn't give a hoot if your degree is NA or RA, it's the same to them, but there are many employers (government and private) who insist on RA (some are even beginning to insist on programmatic accreditation.). In the end, it is what is best for you. I'm not in a hiring position, but what would matter to me personally is your experience and intellect; unfortunately many hiring managers don't feel that way.
I just did a google search on CCU, and unfortunately the third search result down is a complaint on rip-off report. The complainant pretty much states that she/he got a 4 year degree in a few months with almost no work and wants their money back. If I'm an employer and search your school that is what's going to be on the first page of their search. It doesn't mean that it is true, or that the school is bad, but just some food for thought.
CLEPS Passed: 10 DSST Passed: 11 TECEPS: 1

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
