I'm asking this for a friend (no, seriously lol).
He thrives in structure, but not when it's a free-for-all independent study "do at your own pace" kind of plan. So doing random study.com or Straighterline-type courses are out.
He wants to get his BA. He has 87 transferable college credits (none are upper level) that he can swing to different schools.
Before recommending that he go to Amberton, I wanted to know if anybody else knew of a cheaper online traditional BA school? He does not qualify for any type of financial aid.
Reason I was going to recommend Amberton:
-no proctored exams
-semesters are 10 weeks each
-reasonably priced (about 265$/credit)
-just do your homework timely and well = get a passing grade, move on to the next course
-no capstone or thesis
-accepts up to 87 credits from all sources (community college, CLEPs, etc.) - which he has - so he'd only be about 11-12 courses away from getting it.
Anybody else know of some BA-offering colleges that might be cheapish and structured like a traditional online college that is similar in Amberton's pros?
