These are the 3 options I have in mind. WGU/TESU are both regionally accredited and I'm not 100% sure about Liberty, but I think it is as well.
Pros about TESU/Liberty, I could use my ATP, 121 experience and type rating to get a bunch of credits. Not an option at WGU, as far as I know. But WGU is competency based, so there's no deadlines per se, you can go as fast as you can.
Tuition wise, Liberty > TESU > WGU.
So far I have started a couple of classes on Study.com, whose credits are 100% transferable to TESU and WGU, and possibly Liberty.
Anyone out there completing or completed classes at Study.com, Sophia, etc....and then transferrred to one of these schools?
It seems to me that the the main difference is the tuition. Other than that they must be pretty similar in terms of difficulty, "reputation", etc...So not sure which one should I choose.
Thanks!.
Liberty University is regionally accredited. Also yes, doing the Sophia courses is a good idea. I'm finishing up my bachelors at LU right now, and I just did the required Statistics course for my degree through Sophia in 2 weeks. LU is pretty chill so far. I just transferred in from community college last semester. But so far its pretty good. The classes aren't difficult. I actually kind of like the 8 week format. Because if you do have a class you dislike, you power through it faster than a normal 16 week semester. Assignments are also reasonable. As already stated, you would be required to take a Bible class, and almost every class at LU has a Christian influence when it comes to assignments. You don't have to be religious though to do well here. I'm not religious, and I don't find the assignments difficult.
