WGU let me transfer in 36 credits from my previous undergrad degree towards their Bachelor of Science in Software Development. Then I transferred in another 11 credits from Sophia which only took me a month to complete. So I came in with 47 credits which is nuts, 38% completed with the degree with their transfer process. Now the plan is to take 2 classes a month for the next 9-12 months and graduate with my second bachelors.

[@Icyyellowsandroutes8823]

I'm sure they're a good college but I find it ironic that they offer an Artificial Intelligence program when their "chat with a bot" on their website doesn't even answer questions very well. You think they'd hire someone to program more "intelligent" AI software to answer students questions. That'd be an ultimate form of advertisement for them for that program alone if they could accomplish that. Especially if they showcase that someone similar to an AI student are the types of people that designed the programming. Something like,... *This chat bot is designed by one of our very own AI program's students* They'd probably have more students and/or popularity than they could shake a stick at. Like all businesses though, even colleges, money is always one of the biggest obstacles.

It’s a bit overwhelming playing the return to college game. Especially with transferring credits. One thing you didn’t touch on with these 5 schools is how they might evaluate older courses / “expired” credits. I think with pandemic era, there are tons of people with older credits they’d like to apply to a new or finishing degree. Myself included. Also, which programs within respective schools are the best to obtain degrees in? Going bts for a liberal arts degree is a waste of time, unless you just want the accolades of having a degree.

[@CollegeHacked]

Interesting points, J. You'll find that over 85% of people go into careers that have nothing to do with their degree, so a liberal arts degree is really useful in just being a rubber stamp that gets you the job.

Dr. Clifford. After serving over 40 years as a second-gen Christian missionary to Mexico, and having worked as a self-taught BI/ Tableau Developer in the healthcare sector for the last 8 years, I am finding it necessary to once again re-invent myself in order to ensure job safety and security. I am native level fluent in both English and Spanish, so the path of least resistance would be a BA/MA in Spanish. The second option is to continue to build on my existing IT skills and pursue either a BA in Cloud Data or Data Analytics. However, being 60+ and working full-time, the first option makes much more sense. The one caveat is that I need to do it in the least amount of time at the most affordable cost possible. What do you recommend?

[@CollegeHacked]

Great question. So with the first, there's only so much testing out of a Spanish degree you can do. And same with the second. They are both somewhat limited. So if you wanted to make this as easy as possible, I'd consider finding any old bachelor's degree as long as it's hackable and then using that to leverage you in to an MA in Spanish because I think that will be the easiest. Of course, if you'd rather be making IT money, then I'd go the other direction.

Also, you can pay a fee ($3,300 out of state) to have this requirement reduced from 16 down to 6 credits. So the bottom line is TESU requires an absolute minimum of 6 credits taken through the school.

Very informative video. What are your thoughts on American Public University System? The fact that they are for profit and their graduate rate concerns me.

[@CollegeHacked]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of them for exactly the two reasons you mention. There are cheaper, higher quality, less predatory ways to do school. Basically there are schools that are better in every way.

[@tonylawson3862]

I actually like them! They have so many electives to choose from!

[@DC-se3vr]

As a leader in the field of university innovation, I successfully influenced both Harvard and MIT to swiftly incorporate low-cost bachelor’s degree programs into their edX platform, which serves over 80 million students worldwide. Notably, this achievement occurred within a mere 30 seconds. Coursera followed edX and added Bachelors as well. In 2010, World Mentoring Academy began offering support for college credit in over 200 subjects, leading to over 60 Bachelor programs including BSCs. Several years ago, I encountered an exceptionally talented 18-year-old who, like me, believed in accelerated paths. She earned her bachelor’s degree in just one year and, remarkably, secured her master’s degree from Harvard by the age of 20. This remarkable journey underscores the transformative potential of our methods.

Hello! What is your opinion on Purdue Global? I’m interested in their Master of Science in Psychology with the concentration in Industrial Psychology. They seem like a good school but their graduation rate is pretty low so I’m still on the fence…

[@CollegeHacked]

I assessed PG for this list, and I looked over them very closely. I didn't find them to be as transfer friendly on a bachelor's degree level, but they seem like a good school. Their graduation rate is very similar to my items at #4 on this list, so I wouldn't worry too much. Maybe a good idea to read some student reviews, but you'll always find the angry people first, so take them with a grain of salt.

That’s a pretty definitive statement, would be interested to hear more about the credentials you have that give you the confidence to make it. :) We’ve worked with hundreds of students from all three schools and have watched them find success, so we have to disagree.

I am really leaning into UMPI or TESU as an international student transfering some credits and hopefully going to follow your advice to end everything in one year while I work on my business. I had a question would there be an issue for doing a masters because I want to do masters after undergraduate at Australia or US ? Especially with regionally accredited is that an issue with international schools not accepting these degrees for masters / post grad. Would u recommend a "bigger name " to avoid this issue like a University of Wisconsin, Purdue global Umassdartmouth etc

Hey super informative and great video!! I've been thinking about going back to college but universities are so expensive. What online college would you recommend to a student currently with 60 credits and a transfer AA English Degree from community college who's looking to earn a BA in English but at low cost?

[@CollegeHacked]

Great question. I like this one: online.umpi.edu/degrees/undergraduate/bachelor-of-arts/english-professional-communication-journalism/. Or this one: www.snhu.edu/online-degrees/bachelors/ba-in-english-language-and-literature. But most of the schools in this video have a good cheap BA in English. I would look at their course catalog and see which schools have the most interesting courses.

[@adriennem1003]

Columbia University, UPenn& Harvard offers online degree programs...but bit of hoops to get in & transfer credits

[@CollegeHacked]

Exactly. It’s hard for most people to consider jumping through all those hoops when an accredited school built for hacking is 4 times less expensive and more friendly 😝

[@brendanpasillas4616]

Have you heard of California Coast University? If so what are your thoughts on it and would you recommend it?

[@CollegeHacked]

Well, they are very CLEP friendly, but they are a for-profit, so I would stay pretty far away. For-profits aren't evil, but they're in it for money and often have super low graduation rates that suggest a bad reputation, bad courses, and frustrating barriers to graduation.

[@CollegeHacked]

Scholarships aren't so common with online school--the price is already so low--but I'd say Western Governor's or UMPI would be your best bet with the latter being my favorite.

[@Godfamilygators]

So this video is wonderful. I have shared it. What is a suggestion for someone who has an associates degree and almost eighty plus credits with Sophia and a certificate program of 12 credits. Saw info on excelsior, Johnson and Whales,and Thomas Jefferson.. one suggestion I am taking is booking an appt soon😊

[@CollegeHacked]

Thanks for sharing, Eric! Excited for our meeting. With all those credits, I'd go with a school/degree that has large free elective sections. UMPI is a really good option for this.

[@meg_swag2406]

@@CollegeHacked what is really the different between for profit and non? I mean I know they put money in different things but when it comes down to it, do most employers really care if your college was for or non? Or is it more money from my pocket type of situation?

[@CollegeHacked]

@@meg_swag2406 It's more of the latter, but the former can be true too. Employers are sometimes in-tune enough with higher ed that they know the quality of instruction is generally worse at for-profits (as with anything, that's a generalization and not true of ALL for-profits) because the money isn't going back into the students and their experience, it's going to shareholders. If you're at the beginning of this road, it's worth choosing a non-profit to be safe. If you're already at a for-profit and relatively close to finishing, you should likely finish the degree. It's still better to have a college degree than to not have one! ;)

Thank you so much for the help and insight! out of the 5, which do you recommend a degree in business management?

Honestly, it's not going to make a difference as to the degree itself. It really depends on what you want out of the process. I will say that LUO has a really easy-to-hack business degree, so while I wouldn't recommend you pick one or the other college, I would encourage you to at least look into that one.

Honestly, THAT is a really good question. I'd need to do some more digging to see which accounting degree has the most free elective requirements in their accounting degrees. I could help with that over a consultation (collegehacked.com), but you could also dig into that and figure out which ones are the most transfer friendly. I hope that helps! Just look for large free elective sections in the accounting degrees.

[@CollegeHacked]

It does indeed. Particularly for the health professions, they usually require residential science prereqs from a regionally accredited school. Which means you should be able to hack classes that aren’t directly asked for by their program as prereqs, though you should confirm that with their admissions team before you do anything :)

Sounds like you have a lot of plans and goals. I'd strongly recommend trying out stuff and picking one central goal first and then test it out with internships and volunteering and interviewing people in those fields. Having three fields that you want to go into will tear your efforts into pieces and split your attention.
