They haven't got a ton of degrees (BALS with various concentrations, BA in Business Administration with different concentrations, Accounting, Criminal Justice, History, Political Science, Professional Communication & Journalism, and English) but they're only $1400 per session and, unlike WGU, they don't limit the number of credits you can transfer in. It looks like they even accept ACE credits that most other colleges do not.
I just found out about this yesterday, so I don't know a whole lot about it. But if any of those degrees would work for you, that's a potentially very inexpensive way for you to get a bachelor's.
Here is some useful info coming from the admissions counselor at University of Maine at Presque Isle:
Quote: "It is possible to enroll online as a foreign student in any online class UMPI has to offer. However, I must warn you that you will be unable to finish a degree in the English (ProfComm concentration) program by strictly taking online classes. There are some courses that must be taken at the University in order to complete the degree. There is no limit on the amount of transfer credits you can be granted. The per credit charge (this number includes the online course fee) for a student in your situation is approximately $400. The Unified Fee is roughly $30 per credit hour, and there is also a one-time only $100 Personalized Learning Assessment fee."
I am wondering how it would all work with other concentrations in the YourPace degree programs, since I've only asked about English-Journalism. That doesn't look very appealing.
