Which courses from Sophia.org can be transferred to UoPeople

I guess it varies based on your financial circumstances. I just don't think a BA for 4k (or 5k like you just said) is THAT much cheaper than what you could get one for from TESU or WGU.

I have never enrolled at a college and not gotten a phone call from them, usually more like 4 or 5 phone calls. Nothing from UofP. You try to transfer stuff in, you don't hear anything. They don't have a registrar's address you can email transcripts to. It seems they want to do all their business by email and they are not super fast at answering those. The fees are deliberately disguised. It just doesn't give me a great feeling.

If they work for you then more power to you. I just think the Big Three, or WGU, or whatever is a better option.

Big 3 just doesn't seem like it'll work for me. TESU has a huge residency-waiver fee. Plus I'd have to take a few UL courses. Or I could go flat-rate, which is something like $775 per class x 6, and I'd have to knock them out in a certain period of time, plus pay for books (at least I had to pay when I took a TESU course a couple of years ago). Then grad fee.

WGU has the flat tuition thing, but then I'd have to cram a bunch of UL coursework into a tighter time frame than I'd like. Any option I looked at was going to start at $5k if I pushed myself, and that's without book costs. Don't know if WGU includes books in their pricing.

If I go into UotP with 72-84 applicable credits, that leaves 12-16 courses to take. 12 if I stick with BA, 16 if I switch major to CS. $100 x 16, plus transfer fees, etc, I am at maybe $2100 all in.

The format is okay so far. Things I like, things I do not. Also, still not fully committed. Next month I will get answers on degree plans, what specific courses will go where, and things like that. If I like the answers, I will commit.

I know a guy who got his BSBA from WGU in 6 months while working full-time, but he is also a sysadmin who doesn't work anymore because he's automated 80% of his job, so he studied ~30 hours a week AT work and another 25 hours outside work. For a rational adult who needs actual study time, it's not that easy, but you can probably do 0 to BSBA for $4,000 if you use financial aid of ~2,000 for the first sememster and spend that same $2k on alternative credits beforehand

Yeah. I work, and have a wife, and a 13 yr old & 11 yr old that are "homeschooled". Plus hunting season is here.  And I need to knock out the ENEB classes. Geez, am I sure I even WANT a BSCS?    Hopefully it works out.

Good thing there are lots of paths.
