EC/COSC - will they take NA credits?
#20
(06-05-2019, 08:43 AM)Old Guy Wrote: Offhand I would think this is not good advice.  Excelsior definitely takes courses accredited under the Department of Education umbrella.  This is a relatively newer policy (within last 10 years?).  You could also try APU/AMU and Liberty.  There are likely dozens, if not hundreds more.  The cost in application fees is low compared to the time and money lost from walking away from a partial degree.

You have to do the math for each option. Making up 60 credits with alternative credit will cost something less than $2000, plus a few months time. If the alternative is paying high tuition (or taking big loans) at an NA school or getting a degree you don't want, it could easily be more attractive. If, on the hand, you can find a path to the degree you want, use the NA credits, and not spend too much, sure you would obviously do it.

We've seen a lot of people through here pulling their hair trying to use every single old credit they have, when a couple of months and a few hundred dollars would have replaced those old units and had them on their way at one of the Big3.
