Norma, where can you get a fully accredited four-year degree for less than $700 online?

Retta:

NOT online! Any bright student who takes the time to prepare for and
take three GRE exams, passes them with a high enough score, could get
up to 90 undergraduate credit hours. You will pay 3 x $130 (cost per
test), or $390. That's only $4.33 per college credit hour!!! What
scholarship could ever give you that kind of bargain? Without paying
for room and board.

And if that student then prepared for and passed an assortment of the
other testing options available [CLEP, Excelsior College
Examinations, DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSSTs), the Thomas
Edison College Examination Program (TECEP), Ohio University Credit By
Examination Program, the New York University Foreign Language Testing
Program, AP Exams], as well as the Graduate Record Exams (GRE), s/he
could easily have completed what is required for a fully accredited
four-year college degree for as little as $700. By combining any of
these with some college classes, in person or by correspondence, one
can earn a fully accredited valid 4-year college degree.

For more details on this read Brad Voeller's book, Accelerated
Distance Learning: The New Way To Earn Your College Degree In The
Twenty-First Century. Well worth the small investment in this book.

Oh, I forgot. You can also do internships, portfolio assessments,
and independent study courses to credit at most regular colleges.

Norma,

I was thinking of taking 3 GRE's but found that most of the colleges who take crdit for examination cost quite a bit just to evaluate those credits. Excelsior is something like $1500. Can you shed any light on this?

Thanks,

Danny

Danny:

Again, I guess it would depend on what you want. If that piece of
paper called a diploma is important to you, then you will ultimately
have to pay someone to evaluate whatever credits you have
accumulated, from all sources, for them to issue you that diploma.
Colleges are in the diploma business. They expect you to pay for
that piece of paper that they issue. Hence I would sure do some
shopping around to see who is willing to do this for the least amount
of money. But even if you had to spend $1500 + the $700 to earn the
credits from passing various tests, you would still be lightyears
ahead of any other 4-year accredited college expenses. And you get
to do it on your own time, on your own terms.

But if the diploma isn't so important, like if you are going on to
grad school, for example, then you just submit your credits,
especially those GRE exams, and keep going until you have completed
whatever degree satisfies your personal goals.

Or, if the job you want doesn't necessarily require the diploma, just
the college credits, a transcript, that you can put together
yourself, just like the high school one I put together for my
daugther, listing what you have done to complete whatever you have
completed that is college level work, could suffice. Same goes for
the portfolio assessments, the internships, and the independent study
courses. Then your employer might be willing to foot the bill to do
whatever is necessary to get you that diploma. Especially if you do
your job well.

For more details and all the possible options do get Brad Voeller's
book, Accelerated Distance Learning. It spells out everything in
detail.

Life: just a long series of choices!

Here's a site that is all about credit-by-examination that says that
four states "grant valid, recognized, external degrees that can be
obtained ENTIRELY through credit by examination."

This should give you some more leads.

Just read this and thought it was worth a share here.

A Minor Bird

I have wished a bird would fly away,
And not sing by my house all day;

Have clapped my hands at him from the door
When it seemed as if I could bear no more.

The fault must partly have been in me,
The bird was not to blame for his key.

And of course there must be something wrong
in wanting to silence any song.
