I noticed in your signature line that it looks like you graduated from UMPI. So far, it looked like the best/cheapest/quickest option for him was likely TESU. I was wondering what your experience was at UMPI or what you think of Amberton? If the type of major is less important than say cost and the speed to which someone who is diligent can complete the Bachelor's degree, what school would you recommend?

Thanks,

I can't speak about TESU. I did look at them but I needed graded RA credits to get into grad school. I transferred to UMPI from CSU Global. I'm not sure how TESU would be cheaper than UMPI. I guess if it takes someone more than 3 sessions it would be. I only spent 3 sessions at UMPI for my BLS because I completed 3 minors and didn't transfer in all 90 usable transfer credits. 

UMPI and Amberton are VERY different. Amberton is not CBE. There are deadlines every week in each course. Your course content is on Moodle and the books you buy to read. UMPI is self contained so you don't buy books. All of your reading is in the Strut Learning Platform. Amberton charges per credit whereas UMPI is per session. You can complete as many credits as you can in 8 weeks at UMPI.

I'm partial to UMPI because CBE worked well for me. I also enjoy writing papers. If someone just wants tests only and struggles with papers then UMPI is probably not their best choice. Not matter where you go you have to be a self motivator. All online programs require you to motivate yourself. There's rarely someone there to remind you of deadlines and upcoming assignments. One other thing about UMPI that I liked is that it has an actual campus so it's not an online school. Some people still have weird ideas in their heads about degrees earned online.
