Flexible schools other than the Big Three?
#11

I'm suggesting APU because it's flexible with the 8 week terms and many starts, but are there a couple schools other that are similar that should be considered? SNHU maybe?

(Big Three classes cost too much.)

Doesn't have to take ACE, but it would be good to know which do.

This may not matter, but the entire APUS system now caps alternative credit at 30 for a bachelor's degree- so that includes ACE / CLEP/ AP / PLA /etc. If his associate's degree contained any of those, they'll "unbundle" his degree and count them toward that total. They are on the less expensive side for people who want grades and are using aid. They used to have multiple options for course length (8, 16, and even 5 week I think) but I'm not seeing that on their website now, so I don't know if that's still an option. But, if he's using aid, there will be parameters for the terms as well as number of classes to take.

Aside from the alternative credit cap, I love AMU/APU. I think they have some of the coolest majors around.
