We Have Moved on From the Basic “Big 3” Colleges and Now Have CBE Big 3 and Others

I wholeheartedly agree that PUG is questionable to include. The amount of writing makes it very specific to the type of student that can be successful in completing a PUG ExcelTrack degree in four or less terms.

This is something I've been wondering too. The tuition for MyPath is on par with WGU: https://www.umassglobal.edu/tuition-and-aid/tuition
One drawback is that it's not nearly as easy as WGU to determine in advance how previous courses will transfer, and they still list retired certifications like MS 98-365 as requirements for completing courses: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1...7hIHaULfCI
Someday I may try to sign up using my employer's reimbursement program just to see what it's like, but for now there are definitely questions.

The positives of this school are that it is the most popular online school, has the largest variety of degree programs out of the schools we recommend, and the courses are around 20 hours with easy grading. The downside is you can only take 2 courses at a time, and the cost overall is higher than the colleges we recommend at $960 per course.

This is confusing, given that:
  • WGU by any count should be the most popular online school.
  • The structure of classes and tuition appear to be similar to COSC.

Two courses? 20 hours with easy grading? Can you please provide one or more citations?
