Columbia Southern University and StraighterLine - Saving on my degree

[Bpreli]

What is your end goal with the AS OSH at CSU?  Are you planning to get a Bachelors degree?  Do you have a budget or have tuition assistance/reimbursement?  There are a few things you can do, transfer your NA credits when you're done to RA universities that accept NA credits such as Excelsior/WGU, etc, and Waldorf University - a subsidiary of CSU.  You can check out the other Competency-Based degree providers from APU, Capella, Purdue Global, Walden, and see which program yours can ladder into when you're done.  If NA isn't an issue for you, other schools in the NA arena can do as well, but I usually recommend getting the BA or higher at a RA university instead if it's within your budget.

CSU is basically the cheapest school recognized by ASP, and the bachelors qualified for the GSP credential. I am interested in my bachelors, but I am paying out of pocket for my classes so my goal is to save money while getting my degree.

I also want to add that for my job the AS is sufficient, so that’s where I began. However I do intend to pursue my bachelors. Honestly, a degree isn’t even completely necessary for my job, but it will take me longer to advance so I’m going ahead with getting my degree. I don’t exactly have a budget as I’m just paying for it as I take classes, but obviously I want to obtain my degree as cheaply as possible.
