It's just too bad that doesn't grant you an actual AA or AS. An Associate's degree can be a nice little certificate of achievement and boost of encouragement for students.
You can take your credits elsewhere to get an AA if you really want one.
The thing with the York Academy program is that you are stuck on their system - you really have to want to do 60cr in 4 semesters, and as a homeschooler, I would not have wanted to do my courses the way they want them. I preferred a lot more flexibility in how I set my kids' schedules up. You also can't bring in ACE credit as far as I can tell, so those would be wasted.
Better to do MCA and then transfer to COSC, or even MCA and then do a final semester at Snow College. COSC will be $1717 for 3cr; Snow will be $1743 for 1 term of 20cr. Both take ACE; Snow does not require RA credits to be transferred in.
Hello! Carrie Watkins, the Marketing Director for TEL chiming in. There are options within Micro-Collegiate Academy to do either the Associate Degree or five courses of your choosing, all at $100 per course. We basically rolled YC Academy into MCA.
As a reminder, the grant we received that allowed us to discount the courses by 50% for the MCA program ends this summer. Any student who enrolls for the Spring or Summer term can take advantage of the $100 price point, and they have a full year to complete the course. After that, the price returns to $200 per course.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need clarification.
