Degrees available with Saylor Academy and OnlineDegree

University of the People might be a good option. Can transfer in up to 90 credits. Inexpensive and potential to have the $200 course fees covered. The transfer eval fees will be about $500. However, UotP courses aren't a slam dunk, nor are they self-paced. It'll take you at least 1 full year AFTER transferring in 90 credits.

Nations is pretty inexpensive, but you're only going to transfer in at most 60 credits, and ACE-recommended won't count. You can do all 120 credits thru Nations, but that's going to add up over time. Self-paced, but still a lot of work.

Is there a listing of what Saylor/OnlineDegree courses I could take that would transfer into this program?

I don't know why exactly but UoP philosophically seems very interesting to me. Time is not one of my main necessities, so I would not mind having to take a year or two worth of schooling at a later date.

I would just like to be able to use my current free time to start making progress toward something even if I can't officially enroll in a program yet.

UoPeople had/has a philosophical appeal to me as well. I took some courses there. I don't have any Saylor/OD courses completed, at least not proctored. I did complete several Saylor courses just for the certificates. I forget which of my ACE-recommended they accepted. It was a bunch. 

Generally I would say that courses fell into the degree plan spots you'd think they would. Know what I mean? So if you took a principles of microecon somewhere and it was ACE-recommended, UoPeople would say it met a 3-hr social science requirement. An ACE-recommended intro to psych would satisfy the other 3-hr social science requirement.

If you don't know (or if someone reading this doesn't) you can go to The ACE National Guide (acenet.edu) , scroll down, and dive into ACE recommendations. Just a quick look and I see maybe 9-10 Saylor courses that would probably satisfy core requirements at UoPeople. I think you have to do UNIV1001 at UoPeople. Saylor doesn't look to have anything to meet the writing requirement. 

Anyway, this is just my guess because like I said I didn't transfer in any Saylor or OD.

I might go ahead and email their admissions folks and wait to hear back.
