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

[dfrecore]

Just to be clear, I would never put CBE in with the Big 3. I personally would not do well in a CBE program (judging by how long it took me to complete Sophia and Study.com courses). My daughter CAN NOT get through Sophia's IT course, and it's about the easiest one there is. My other kid - I doubt he'll do well with it either. It's just not our thing. I really need more structure, as does my daughter.

My husband self-studies for IT certs, so a CBE program would be a great fit for him. But I think that for a lot of people, it's just NOT a good option. Not even close. Not even at half the cost (because God knows it will take me 3x as long to finish - or even longer - or maybe I never will).

Give me a degree from one of the Big 3 any day. I'll pay more to not have to take 10 classes at a CBE school.
