HACK College & Graduate in Months | Degree Hacking Tutorial

[@annai157]

This really works! I did it back in the 80's. I did my Bachelor's through Thomas Edison State U. It took me a little longer (about 2 years) because I lived abroad and had to wait for international mail. And, yes, you can get a quality education this way. When I went on to Grad School, I was well-prepared, and made the dean's list. Other colleges to consider: Liberty U., and Colorado Christian U. both allow competency based education for about 75% of a degree.

[@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671]

Thanks so much for sharing your success story! This is fantastic!

[@H1ybee]

Great video! I like that the introduction included young learners that completed the accelerated program and that you included the schools that you like. Also, you look like you lost weight compared to the videos you have in your degree hacking program. Whatever you’re doing, keep up the great work! I appreciate the information.

I contacted TESU, asking for Competency Based Program. The response I got was: "The BS in Healthcare Management program is offered completely online and you can earn this degree entirely through the University's online and distance learning courses. Although, I do want to bring this to your attention, that this degree program can not be completed just with TECEP options, you will be required to take few online courses. We do offer terms every month and you can register from 3-15 credits in each term. Each term is 12-weeks long and you will be required to complete your coursework within this timeline." Ryan can you educate me if this is the strategy you are teaching us or not?

[@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671]

I prefer choosing schools that are 100% competency based. But TESU is a great option if you're wanting to earn most of your credits through CLEP, Sophia.org, Straighterline, Study.com, etc. You can earn most of your TESU degree by transferring these 3rd party exams over to the school... Then completing as many TECEP exams as they'll allow. By the end, you should only need to take a few classes through their "traditional" online program. Hope this helps. I do offer free consultations if you'd like help mapping out a strategy. Shoot me an email at [e-mail] if you'd like to chat.

I really appreciate your works and your videos. I am planning on getting around 90 credits from Sophia and then transfer the credits to a cheaper, faster and non proctored school for the Bachelors in Computer Science. Which schools are the best choice for this?

[@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671]

For Computer Science having 90 Sophia credits accepted by any school is impossible to my knowledge. 90 credits from Sophia is only going to work for majors that are almost all elective credits (basically liberal studies). I also don't know of any non-proctored computer science majors. I get that Sophia sounds amazing... but it's really overhyped. It's a nice tool when used in moderation, but definitely not the tool to use heavily if you're looking at a high end major like computer science. Computer Science in under a year is totally possible, but not with the Sophia/Non-Proctored path.

Is Capella University's FlexPath a good option for being able to "test out" and do the degree hack?

Yes, you can graduate from Capella in under a year with their Flex Path programs. I will say, I personally don't love Capella, but they do have one of the only psychology majors that's "Hackable" so I do prefer them for psychology. But for most other majors, there are other schools I like more. Hope this helps!

Can WGU credits transfer anywhere? I mean the local community college can say something other than it depends when asked and i think it depends neans probably not but just my thoughts

[@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671]

To be honest, no school has a 100% transfer rate with their credits. If you plan to transfer, it's always best to map everything out ahead of time and make sure the school your transferring into will accept.

[@washingtonluan8116]

What is the most cheapest university mentioned in this video?

[@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671]

That's a tough question. They're all structured a bit differently so it's going to depend on graduation speed. I like WGU. They charge a flat rate every 6 months, under $4k. So if you graduate in 6 months, that's all you pay.. BUT, it's not super hard to cover that with scholarships and/or grants.

What do you think of Excelsior University?

[@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671]

Pros and Cons. They are super lax with their Transfer Credit policy. So if you have a lot of previous credits you can usually get them transferred without losing much. As for Degree Hacking... Most of the "Hacking" will have to be done through 3rd party resources like CLEP, Sophia.org, Study.com, etc. .. Then transferred over. It's a different process, and is a good fit for some people. I prefer schools that let you test out of all your classes through their school, without the need for 3rd party services. All in all, they are a good fit for some. But if you're starting from scratch there are better options.

What happens if you don't pass an exam at WGU? Do they let you retake it? What happens if you don't pass it twice?

[@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671]

At WGU you just retake the exam. Some teachers let you retake at your own convenience. Others want you to prove that you're ready to pass it by doing a few tasks. But yes, failing an exam is no big deal as long as you take it again and pass by the end of the term.

How can i gets online aviation management bachelor

[@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671]

The strategy would be a little different. I think Liberty University has an Aviation Management program that allows for 75% of the degree to be transferred. So you'd hack the first 3 years through 3rd party exams like CLEP, Sophia, and Study.com.. then do the last year as a traditional online student. It's definitely sloppier than the Competency Based programs but with Aviation, that's just not an option.
