CUNY SPS and Saylor

[cookderosa]

I've been a long time subscriber of this forum and learned so much information.  I have not decided on a school yet to finish my degree, as I've been back and forth deciding between CUNY SPS, Fairfield University (where I originally attended 14 years ago) Bachelor of Liberal studies and Boston University MET online Bachelor Liberal studies.  Prestige $$ vs. Ease (not as in easy but online and less $$)
Well to my surprise, almost a month ago, there was an article published on Saylor that states that they partnered up with Saylor! What a great source of potential credit for the Bachelor degree at that insitution.  So in the past I've read on this forum they accept test credit- Clep, ECE, DSST and now they also accept Saylor.

I commented on their Facebook page when they announced this partnership, a couple weeks back, but I don't think anyone has posted over here about it.
I wrote "30 Saylor Academy credits at CUNY SPS = $18,000 savings!" which is a glass-half-full way to say that the other 90 credits will cost you $54,000 unless you have a solid plan.

I love the allowance of alternative credit, but the average person won't be able to find 90 credits to transfer, and even if you tap into everything they allow, lining up 90 is tough. Looking over their list, I think a reasonably good degree plan (starting from scratch) would bring in 60 alternatively. Yes, they'll take your transfer credit, but who is walking around with only upper-level transfer credit? Noone. The catch here, is that you're paying full price for MANY credits later- so getting you in the door with free lower level is enticing, but you're going to pay a premium to finish your degree there because you'll have no choice but to pay rack rate tuition.
