Path to MSW with no degree and 52!
#6
(04-01-2024, 03:36 AM)studyingfortests Wrote: I considered the BSW to advanced standing MSW route, but, unless Charter Oak did something completely off-brand for them and accepted a bunch of quickly-completed alt credits (which I have real questions as to whether CSWE would even allow), it's hard to imagine a BSW-to-advanced standing-MSW route as being faster than a Sophia-powered bachelors to a non-advanced standing route.

It probably wouldn't be faster overall. The subtotal cost of the MSW part would be less.

Charter Oak still accepts some individual Sophia courses, some individual SDC courses (with 80% grades), and CLEPs and DSSTs. The key reason degreeforum has pulled back from Charter Oak is that the combination of Charter Oak's restrictions on ACE/NCCRS providers, Excelsior's closing the UExcel program which was a key source of upper level and major or concentration requirements in many Big Three degree plans, and DSST's pulling back over time from offering upper level credits which was another key source, hugely reduced possibilities of completing a major or concentration at Charter Oak mostly with alt-credit.

But if your major or concentration is accounted for by credit that isn't course-provider alt-credit – if it's from Charter Oak, another RA, international equivalent, ACE/NCCRS workplace training e.g., military, or portfolio assessment – you can still use carefully chosen alt-credit to fill out free electives, and maybe all gen eds except the new DEI requirement (and that's probably fairly cheap to fulfill RA, e.g., from ASU UL or a CC).

Charter Oak also made one big student-friendly change in 2023, extending in-state tuition to all, currently 329 per semester hour.
