I currently attend WGU's School of Healthcare and my 1st term ends 4/30. I've completed around 50 cu's & I'm hoping to graduate by end of my 2nd term in Oct. I'm going right back to complete my Master's. Btw, I started from scratch - which I'm good with! Thank you for this! 🙌🏾
Thanks in part to this channel I've been helping my husband hack his BSBA. He works full-time and we have 6 kids so he's going a bit slower than finishing in a year. June is the 1 year mark and he'll be at 70+ credits,starting from 0. Plus, his employer is paying for all his TESU courses. His plan is 1 more year to finish up.
All-stars!! 🤩 This was beautifully written and perfectly highlights how he is the one getting the degree, but really you and your whole family have a major hand in that goal! Super inspirational, and we’re honored to have played a small part in your story 😄
@@CollegeHackedreview Amberton University, Aspen University, United States University , Southern Utah University (general studies program) $75 per credit hours hacked friendly I transferred in 50 credits
How are the lectures (curriculum included), time frames, and the costs? I'm looking to possibly do a graduate program for school counseling later on, and I have been weighing out my options.
Liberty is a lot cheaper for Vets and some first responders. Last I saw the military rates were $250 for undergraduate and $275-$300 for graduate hours.
For veterans with GI bill I suggest UMPI. I got done with my degree and still have money leftover for law school. I did some schooling before UMPI to get my paralegal certificate, but if I didn't do that school I would have my law degree fully paid for with my GI Bill. Now I will only have to pay about 5 months of law school :D
@DianasFourreasons you will only be charged for the months you do for school. Let's say you have 100 percent benefits for GI Bill, which is 36 months of schooling. Through UMPI each term is 2 months or so. Let's say you finish school in 3 terms (6 months of schooling) the VA will only charge 6 months off your GI bill. Resulting in you having 30 months left of schooling. You can then pursue your masters if you want and depending on that program you can get your Masters fully paid for, or you can go to law school fully paid for since Law school will take about 27 months give or take of schooling (this also depends on the law school, public vs private school and if the private school does yellow program). To answer your question, yes it's because I completed this degree faster.
Thanks for sharing the advantages of UMPI! I had never heard of this school until stumbling across your channel. I’m enrolled in their history/polysci degree. I already have a bachelor’s but want to get another degree in a subject I enjoy. They took all of my undergraduate credits and all I have to do is take the major courses. So great! Thank you so much for providing this resource! 😊
I’m new in path of getting a degree. I have zillion questions in my head and the fear is up to roof. Did you take bachelors degree and you finishing in a year or it was certification?
I will look into Liberty University as a back up college. I still have my heart set on Excelsior University. I prefer to take one course every 8 weeks.
Just finished WGU Master of Science in Cybersecurity and Software Assurance took 3 years. You have to be a self starter and not lazy, it is all on you to do the work.
i was thinking to do Cybersecurity Masters degree. and looking for different online universities.can you please tell me is it worth to study in WGU? how is the classes, do they have a lot of tests or Assignments ?did you learn. skills that wanted? thank you
@@khumouyunSultan I think it is in the long run, you do get vouchers to take the test in a couple of classes, so not just experience but also certification. You have to look at what you think your potential will be. Age I think is important the younger you are the better the value you will have. I am in my mid 50's so not sure it will work out but it was my goal to get a Masters.
@@stevenlosesitI’m working on my undergrad and may go to asu for grad school because it is cacrep accredited but the degrees don’t say online or anything it’s the same degree
I just want to let you know that Purdue let’s you resubmit papers and assignments for full credit. In fact, the ones I have taken required it. My HR class I submitted 3x before getting an A. I think it’s because it’s a competency based program that they want to ensure that you have mastery over the subject before you move onto the next module.
@@ishady27most jobs don’t even look at your degree. Especially if you come with experience. Purdue Global’s cybersecurity is recognized as a very good degree and has several accreditations. I’m considering switching majors.
After getting my undergrad at my state public school and having taken online, hybrid and traditional classes there I am really enjoying the MBA program at WGU. I’ll be wrapping it up in the next few weeks. Perfect since I work full time and no busy work. Highly recommend to literally anyone I know who wants to go back to school for a degree they offer. I only just learned about degree hacking so of course I’ll be adding that info now too now. I was initially worried they were a diploma mill after seeing an ad while watching TV one night, lots of research to make sure and do not regret, too bad I didn’t hear about the school sooner.
SO great to hear your experience with WGU has been great! Many people who don’t understand them will call them a diploma mill. But proctored finals make it more secure than a number of big “prestigious” online programs in our book!
Question for the upcoming q&a: I saw on the internet a lot of people talking down on Harvard’s Extension School, saying it’s only for people chasing prestige and that employers know it’s isn’t “real Harvard”. My question is, do u think it’s better to go to a school like ASU which shows no indication of being online on the degree vs schools known as online?
Because of your videos I enrolled into Liberty University less than a year ago. Almost finished with my first year and i honestly can’t complain although I’m at SAHM who isn’t as busy, I get to finish my class work faster and I truly believe the work is manageable even with a busy schedule, I mostly seen two assignments per week , or sometimes three for each class you take per semester. If your taking two classes per semester that’s just 4 assignments per week
SNHU has all the bells and whistles but I have found that they are incredibly writing intensive. I’m in my second term and as a full time working mom I have found it’s difficult to find the time you need for their classes. Every week you read the text book and then you write a paper and do a discussion post. Even with their math courses. I’m a test taker rather than a paper writer so it’s something to consider if you’re thinking of SNHU!
This is great feedback! There are definitely some schools that skew more towards final papers, and some that are more about final exams. If you find you need a switch and you’re not too far in, it could be possible :)
So crazy I just found this channel a couple days ago and looking to start @Umpi . Great Video I definitely need a consult I sent an email had a question. I told my daughter who is at GSU to start hacking classes ASAP and save money as I’m now on the hook for previous college debt hers and my own 🙄😕. This time I’m looking to do it differently this time. Keep doing all the great work.
Thank you for all the information you're putting out there. Thanks to your reviews, my husband just submitted his application at UMPI for the Liberal Studies program. We are very grateful!
Im glad I come across this video. I started SNHU in January of 2024, this fall 2024 I will received my Associate Degree from Southern New Hampshire Univerrsity but I do want to chose another school for my BS degree. Im looking into Business Adminstration-Finance. One of the school that was mention and I am very interesting in is Purdue Global and Columbia Southern University (My daughter attend school there). I do have alot of credit to transfer from previous college in Business and Accounting.
@@macarenaaraya1277 It's a great school, but you're definitely paying for it. For a rare major like neuro though, it makes sense to if the long-term goal needs it :)
These types of videos are a great source of information for non-standard students especially. However, I think it would be interesting if you could make a video pushing back against the anti-college sentiment that has become popular in recent years, especially online pushed by different influencers. They especially seem to criticize non-stem college degrees as being a waste of time and even pushing people to drop out and pursue careers in trades instead, considering opportunity costs and average salaries. I think they may be causing harm to younger people especially, by convincing them that going to college in general is a scam, so offering some more push back against that narrative could be helpful.
Wow! I was hoping to do Physics at ASU, but what you said about Liberty has me questioning. I'm looking for a college degree online to study and work, and you definitely expanded my vision!
Umpi isn't what I thought. I have submitted my official transcripts from both sophia and from my college. And, was told I had 23 classes to complete my degree. Mind you, I have 83 credit hours completed through sophia and have my associates degree as well. Something doesn't sound right. I had my application withdrawn.
If you applied into a structured major, that would make sense. Having classes to transfer is great, but if they aren’t the same classes the new degree requires, only some of them can actually be utilized. If you were to reapply into a Liberal Studies major you’d see a lot more classes accepted :)
I'm from the Dominican Republic, which university (computer science) is the best fit for international students? Thank you, great work you guys are doing!!
can you do a review on Arkansas State University, apparently they have degrees online and are credit transfer friendly, up to 90 credits@@CollegeHacked
We recently became aware of South College and their CBE DBA option 😄 What criteria are you most focused on-speed, learning, student experience, cost, etc?
Well, interesting. For me the experience is important, then the cost. I’m pretty open, just started exploring. I think graduation rate speaks a lot for these programs so I’ve been looking at that metric as well
Finally…. someone that seems like they know how this all works. I would like to take online courses to earn at least 30 credits or even an Associates Degree. Im in my mid 40's and am almost done with my career. Going to then start a post retirement job and they pay much better with a degree. Would love your input on what may be best for me, which means maybe getting credits from my current career experience, have this certificate or Associates done as quickly as possible, low cost and anything else that would help. Looking forward to hearing from you and your expertise in my choices. Thank you very much and i'll be watching more of your videos to get me going in the right direction.
Excellent! You’re well positioned for a competency based degree, like the YourPace majors at UMPI. That will allow you to utilize your existing knowledge to finish faster. On average it takes about a year with no transfer credit, and about $6k. We can help you compare schools if you’d like, or we have several videos on UMPI, Purdue Global, and Western Governors that should help.
@@CollegeHacked Hopefully in less than a year, or if possible, an Associates degree to possibly save more money. I already have a date scheduled for June 25th with you guys. Hoping for the best.
@@gcastro239 Awesome! I'm really glad you scheduled, I have some exciting ideas and I think you're going to like the time/price/degree(s) :) See you then!
I'm about to graduate from SNHU with my bachelors in Communication Studies, would it make more sense to continue at SNHU to get my degree in Business Administration, or switch to a school like UMPI for that? Looking for the fastest and/or cheapest options.
Can you make a video for those who want a more quality curriculum/education but also hackable and perhaps on the affordable side as well? Or maybe not so affordable lol but definitely hackable!
My worry is getting a “degree” with Perdue or Umass and not getting hired because “its not valid” do you have a video on that for instance I am leaned towards getting BA in early childhood education to be a teacher. I spoke to some local universities and still confused why is it they don’t accept Sophia. Please answer any advice.
Hello I am mid 40 and I have been working in IT for 20 years. I have Bachelor Degree in CS in Vietnam 20 years ago and relocated to US thru work (H1B). I am planning transitioning to education career (Elementary/Special Eds) in about next 5 years. I can study up to Master in Education. I am a full time job and a mom now. What are your recommendations for me to study with my pace, may be slow with affordable tuition and flexible time? Thank you very much.
Check out Western Governors University! Flexible, work at your own pace, lots of education major options at the undergrad and grad level :) You got this!
My family and I currently live in South America, but we will be moving to North Carolina in a few years . They think that it wouldn’t be a bad idea for me to study something online, like a bachelor’s degree , while we complete the rest of the process. Do you think there’s a online college for my case lol ? In that case, which one would you recommend me ? I focus on cybersecurity and IT in general
Absolutely :) Purdue University Global has both IT and Cybersecurity in their ExcelTrack format. They don’t mind where in the world you’re located, or if that changes during degree completion.
I am thinking about doing this while simultaneously attending community college and maybe 4 year afterwards. I could get a bachelors in business admin from 4 year, AA from community college, AAS in business major of choice to complement my BA in business. Or I could even get another Bachelors or AAS online depending on funds and time.
That is possible, but the question is why? Make sure to figure out what you need before diving into such elaborate measures :) Unless it’s for fun, all that is almost guaranteed to be unnecessary.
Would be awesome to see a video on Georgia techs online program from what I’ve read it’s about $180 a credit and you get an identical agree to those who go in person.
An old Navy buddy of mine was in Georgia Tech's MS in Cybersecurity. I saw it on Edx a few years ago and told him about it. It was kicking his butt so he dropped out a few times. I'm not sure if he plans on going back.
My husband and I are thinking of going back to school, but online due to our busy schedules. He was thinking of ASU and I was thinking of Capella or Purdue. I don't see Capella on your list and I was reading they were acquired by Kaplan years ago and that Capella was in some murky waters for not being honest about what they were charging student. What are your thoughts on Capella? I see you rated Purdue #6 on your list, and I see Capella didn't even make this list lol!!! Purdue looks like it's more my speed in terms of how fast I can obtain my degree, course work and price.
@@CollegeHacked before finding your vid I reached out to Capella for info but yea, I’m changing my mind lol!! Purdue seems like a better path. I didn’t understand the 180 credit thing tho :/
@@dominiqued.4114Check out our UMPI videos :) Purdue has 5 finals per course, they have 1 final per course. both schools still require the same number of total classes though, so Purdue isn’t 180 credits because it’s more classes.
Hi, does ranking matter, do I have to find online schools that fit the QS ranking? For example i saw SNHU is in the ranking in Regional Universities North but it wasn't among the top. So wonder if any hirer would look at that
Never heard of it. After looking it up, it’s regionally accredited and accepts 90 credits of transfer, which are both important. But they don’t have any equivalency guides that I can find for ACE credit, which we are looking for in order to recommend them for hacking. Very specific major options too, so this is more of a niche pick for someone with a specific goal not looking to hack to the maximum.
im international and absolutely poor, also want a good reputable online university, i get paid only 80$ a month, and i am autistic, could you please tell me which online university can i afford? yet i don't want employers laugh at my degree
I'm wanting to go abck to school and was thinking University of Phoenix. I read that they are connected with University of Idaho and now a Non profit. What are your thoughts on this school? I was choosing between UofP or SNHU.
Absolutely do not go to University of Phoenix, unless you have an employer paying the entire cost. SNHU would be much better, but there are non-profit, regionally accredited schools you can finish at for half the price. The right school for you depends on your unique set of priorities 😄
As a first time college student having taken 2 gap years due to personal reasons.. and also being 19 and even more reasons im not currently able to go to physical school as well is online college a good path to take to get an associates degree in business. If so what online college would best be fit for that?
You can get an accredited bachelors degree in one year for about $6k, so we recommend that over an associates. Unless the AA is for a trade or licensure :)
@@issacgutierrez2473There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a school (delivery method, cost, student experience, etc), so that would be better covered in a session :) You can book at collegehacked.com!
Do you have a video on bachelors concentrations and if you think they’re valuable? Purdue has one for project management. I took the first class of it and it was basically everything you learn if you take intro to Scrum. All on the agile methodology. I will say they did go over other methodologies and how they differ. I think my electives are maxed out, just from all my transfers and stuff I did on Sofia. So adding a concentration would be on top, and I’m wondering if the payoff is worth the effort.
For PM in particular, a PMP is infinitely more useful than the specialization, and costs a lot less 😜 At Purdue the PMP actually transfers in as the whole concentration, if I remember correctly. But to answer your actual question, we think specializations are a waste of free elective space in 95% of situations. But if it’s the only PM geared classes you’ll touch in your degree and you want the ability to write something like “with specialized college classes in topics like…” in your cover letter (so if there’s a plan for why you’re going out of your way to take them), then it could be worth it :)
I am considering PG for project management. If you have started down the business administration track can you tell me if the course is very writing intensive?
It’s for-profit, which is why it’s expensive and also why we don’t recommend it. It’s owned by DeVry, which has a similar reputation to University of Phoenix. A much better path to RN is through a local hospital program, and then you can roll that into an RN to BSN program online, like WGU offers!
Greetings from Dallas, Texas! What are your thoughts regarding the American College of Education? I have an A.S. from Dallas College and roughly 65 hours of previous coursework completed at Texas A&M University. Thank You!!!
Looking to get a Masters, then PhD, probably Business , but open to other subjects. I'm retired, (need to keep the brain active) so COST is very important. Are there programs that combine? As in, some of the Masters work, gets credit toward your PhD? Thank you.
What about National University out of San Diego? I discovered them while searching. They have 4 and 8 week terms. I think they take ACE credits. Are you familiar with that school?
We both worked at LU, so we know a lot more about it than Regent. But looking at Regent, it looks pretty similar to LU. Though they don’t appear to be as hackable.
I have a question!! Desperate for an advice! I’m 18 just graduated Highschool and want to do college online due to the fact that I need to work right now. I can’t be at an in person since I need my job. I don’t want to hack the system I want to learn a lot and take my time and have that 4 years like everyone else who gets a BSW (bachelor of social work) degree. What one is best for me?
There are a number of schools that would fit that description. And hacking doesn’t have to mean learning less, it’s all about how you approach it and the effort you put in. A couple of top tier schools we recommend online are ASU, and Oregon State.
Yeah, it’s good! We’ve built UMGC plans for clients before. There are just usually more hackable/less expensive options when it comes to the majors they offer so the demand isn’t as high. But it’s on the (long) list for a video.
@@UnknownRandom-vf4ud I don't think UMGC has a particularly prestigious reputation, although it's not a bad school, it's not one I see a reason to spend extra money on. Something like Liberty, ASU, or Oregon State would be worth more money.
@@CollegeHacked maybe I used the wrong terminology. Instead of prestige, maybe reputation. I’m a Christian and I don’t mind Liberty, but I also hear quite often it’s frowned upon. Does Liberty have a better reputation than UMGC in your opinion?
@@UnknownRandom-vf4ud Yes, Liberty is going to carry a more meaningful brand name mostly because of the roots of UMGC. It was formerly the continuing education branch of the UM, which isn't a bad thing but doesn't carry the same longitudinal strength as a school like Liberty or Regent. People love to sensationalize Christian schools in general, but then Falwell gave everyone a reason to really bandwagon on that with Liberty in particular, which is probably the main hype you hear (he was also the source of the political leanings and the Title IX issues). But if you need proof they are doing great things in terms of the education and student experience, Google the Liberty Champion and read the student news. It's full of Alumni doing impressive things in all kinds of industries :) Searching people by school on LinkedIn also yields some great results.
Good afternoon! Considering WGU for a business degree. I have a little over 20 years of logistics experience and desire to increase my income. Would you have any recommendations ? Thanks
I have an odd goal of getting an an applied and theoretical doctorate. I’m currently getting a DBA from Capella. Would you recommend a PhD from Liberty in order to get in academia?
Indeed! You need a good brand name and a healthy dissertation (not applied project or thesis) to get into academia. But even then, we strongly suggest rethinking that direction unless you truly know what the landscape looks like these days. Most people are getting out of academia, not into it. LinkedIn is full of awesome academics being vocal about how bad the working environment is, and having been one of the people to defect from traditional academia in the last few years, I agree wholeheartedly. Don’t want to sour anyone’s dreams, but make sure you go into it with eyes wide open. :) All industries go through ups and downs, entering on a down is 👎🏼
@@CollegeHacked thank you!!!! Appreciate the advice!! what educational career path would you recommend as someone who about earn an applied Doctorate instead of academia?
Hi, I just left high school, I was hoping to become a surgeon, but a traditonal 4 year is too expensive for me. Which online college do you think would be best accepted by a medical school? Thank you
Unfortunately, you’re going to need to do your sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, etc.) residentially. But you can do them at a community college :) Then transfer them into an online degree where you’ve hacked your general education and electives to graduate faster and cheaper. Don’t forget all the extracurriculars along the way!
What are your thoughts on Strayer University? I'm currently enrolled in their accounting program, and worried about how they're viewed in the real world since they're a for-profit school. Thanks

Hello I’m working mother of four and i want to go back to school online and get my associates or bachelors. What online school do u recommend because i want to test out and get my degree fast .. my time is full so i need a school where i can test out and get my degree while still maintaining my full time job and household.
I just graduated Community College of Philadelphia and earned an Associates Degree in Arts? Which online college would fit for me in the near future? Would Temple University or Drexel be hackable? I would probably transfer all 61 credits. Do any of these colleges make me earn a Bachelor’s in less than a year? Is it hackable?
Thank you for all the information you provide. I’ve decided to stay with UMPI. I just have one question, what type of courses/credits are accepted as electives?
Once you're accepted at UMPI and have an account with them, you will have a link to look up what transfers. I think the list is a little outdated but still helpful.
What degree will you be pursuing? I will be doing Project Management and plan on getting the MAOL also. You can take three classes as an undergrad that can be credited to your Master's degree in case you didn't know this
@@CollegeHacked I found out today. At UMPI if you finish in this session you can start the application for MAOL. But you have to let your advisor know that you plan to finish in this spring session or whatever session you choose. This school is amazing fast and has a flat tuition and a great option for a working adult.
I was planning to enroll at WGU, but unfortunately, they don't accept students from the Philippines. Do you know of any online schools that offer a Master's in Education in Instructional Design or Curriculum and Instruction? Thank you in advance.
Accreditation status is something you can look up easily using Google, there are hundreds of accredited schools in the US. Hacking doesn’t prevent you from getting jobs/entering grad programs.
currently at Thomas Edition State University having to fulfill 15 unit residency requirements this april. Wish I could pay the 3000$ residency requirement waiver.
In the very near future, I want to get a hackable doctorate degree. Just finding a school that offers that is very hard. I did see Thomas Edison University offers a Doctor of Business Admin and a Doctor in Nursing Practice. Are they hackable or at least the Doctorate of Business Admin?
Hello, I'm looking at your video and reading through the comments and want to say thank you for trying your best to respond to everyone , with that being said. Which school and top 3 majors you recommend for someone who works in Law enforcement as a Deputy wanting to go back to college online with 66 college hours in criminal justice and i cant decide which major or school to attend
Can you please review Penn state global campus! I’m a student there and feel like I’m only there for the name at this point because it’s expensive and I haven’t had the best experience with them.
They aren’t hackable, so we don’t spend much time thinking about them, but if you’re not happy with your experience definitely jump ship. That’s a mega price tag to be unhappy with your experience. You could always take your credits and go to UMPI for a bachelors degree that costs $6k or less :)
Hi what about for a masters, Im a US citizen but had to finish my bachelors or titulo in Mexico now Im trying to do a master's in psychology because that's what I graduated as, can you help me with that Im 47 and hope I still have time to make something
Try send your transcripts to ECE.org or WES.org to see if these NACES evaluators will deem what you have as equivalent to a US bachelors degree. If they will, you should be able to use that to get into masters programs. If not, you’ll need another bachelors.
Stumbled across your video while doing research for an online degree program. 1st, thank you for the breakdown and information. 2nd - Have you had / heard of any experiences with Regis University? It's one of the few online and ABET accredited schools with a degree in Information Technology. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Regis isn’t a bad school, just expensive. Try Purdue University Global, their ExcelTrack IT degree is fully hackable and on the ABET list, ends up being about 11k. :)
I thought TESU still lets you transfer up to 117 credits (27 from a CC AND 90 from ACE) just if you don’t take 16 credits from them you pay a 3300 fee is this still accurate? Referring to the BA in general management
Yes, if you pay the residency waiver fee they’ll let you transfer in more than 90 credits. The hard part is transferring in the RIGHT credits, as you still have to fulfill all the specific degree requirements. So not just any transfer credit will work.
Would a UMPI BLS with all the possible CS courses be the same as a CS bachelors in terms of getting a work visa for the US? Would it be the same in terms of getting a job for American employers?
Unfortunately UMPI doesn’t offer CS, so if you go the BLS route the only CS content you’ll be able to put in the degree are a few Sophia and Study classes. While the degree would technically check the box most employers need checked in order to interview you, you’re unlikely to have the same practical skills as someone with either a CS degree, or years of experience.

Graduate program at SNHU… love my experience so far!
How are the lectures (curriculum included), time frames, and the costs? I'm looking to possibly do a graduate program for school counseling later on, and I have been weighing out my options.
We had one of our IT leave WGU and finish his general IT degree there and he moved up in a new company.
Nop, I just asked them by chat.
Liberty is a lot cheaper for Vets and some first responders. Last I saw the military rates were $250 for undergraduate and $275-$300 for graduate hours.
Fantastic, right?? 🥳
For veterans with GI bill I suggest UMPI. I got done with my degree and still have money leftover for law school. I did some schooling before UMPI to get my paralegal certificate, but if I didn't do that school I would have my law degree fully paid for with my GI Bill. Now I will only have to pay about 5 months of law school :D
@@MiloYoung210is it because you finished quick or it was less money for tuition? I’m a Vet too
@DianasFourreasons you will only be charged for the months you do for school. Let's say you have 100 percent benefits for GI Bill, which is 36 months of schooling. Through UMPI each term is 2 months or so. Let's say you finish school in 3 terms (6 months of schooling) the VA will only charge 6 months off your GI bill. Resulting in you having 30 months left of schooling. You can then pursue your masters if you want and depending on that program you can get your Masters fully paid for, or you can go to law school fully paid for since Law school will take about 27 months give or take of schooling (this also depends on the law school, public vs private school and if the private school does yellow program).
To answer your question, yes it's because I completed this degree faster.
Thanks for sharing the advantages of UMPI! I had never heard of this school until stumbling across your channel. I’m enrolled in their history/polysci degree. I already have a bachelor’s but want to get another degree in a subject I enjoy. They took all of my undergraduate credits and all I have to do is take the major courses. So great! Thank you so much for providing this resource! 😊

Is UMPI undergraduate expensive?
I stumbled upon your video one day last year, and now I will be graduating in May at UMPI. I cannot thank you enough!
WOW! 🤩 Feel free to tell me more about your story! clifford@collegehacked.com
I’m new in path of getting a degree. I have zillion questions in my head and the fear is up to roof. Did you take bachelors degree and you finishing in a year or it was certification?
@katarinatina6802 sorry for the late response, if this comment was directed to me. I finished my BA in political science in 6 months
I will look into Liberty University as a back up college. I still have my heart set on Excelsior University. I prefer to take one course every 8 weeks.
I was just thinking, when is College Hacked making the 2024 list... this was a pleasant surprise 🎉
It’s here! 🥳
Just finished WGU Master of Science in Cybersecurity and Software Assurance took 3 years. You have to be a self starter and not lazy, it is all on you to do the work.
Great feedback, and CONGRATS!! 🥳
i was thinking to do Cybersecurity Masters degree. and looking for different online universities.can you please tell me is it worth to study in WGU? how is the classes, do they have a lot of tests or Assignments ?did you learn. skills that wanted? thank you
@@khumouyunSultan I think it is in the long run, you do get vouchers to take the test in a couple of classes, so not just experience but also certification. You have to look at what you think your potential will be. Age I think is important the younger you are the better the value you will have. I am in my mid 50's so not sure it will work out but it was my goal to get a Masters.
I graduated from ASU with a MS in psych. Loved it. Very good experience at this school
Has it actually helped you in getting a good paying job?
@@stevenlosesitI’m working on my undergrad and may go to asu for grad school because it is cacrep accredited but the degrees don’t say online or anything it’s the same degree
@@PoppinOut-v4yreally?
I just want to let you know that Purdue let’s you resubmit papers and assignments for full credit. In fact, the ones I have taken required it. My HR class I submitted 3x before getting an A. I think it’s because it’s a competency based program that they want to ensure that you have mastery over the subject before you move onto the next module.
Nice! Was that ExcelTrack (no deadlines) or was it a standard program with weekly deadlines?
@@CollegeHacked oh, yes. It is excel track.
Plus you are a boilermaker!!!!
I just found out that Purdue Global's diploma have the "Global" word on it which will affect my work acceptance if the company care about it...
@@ishady27most jobs don’t even look at your degree. Especially if you come with experience. Purdue Global’s cybersecurity is recognized as a very good degree and has several accreditations. I’m considering switching majors.
After getting my undergrad at my state public school and having taken online, hybrid and traditional classes there I am really enjoying the MBA program at WGU. I’ll be wrapping it up in the next few weeks. Perfect since I work full time and no busy work. Highly recommend to literally anyone I know who wants to go back to school for a degree they offer. I only just learned about degree hacking so of course I’ll be adding that info now too now. I was initially worried they were a diploma mill after seeing an ad while watching TV one night, lots of research to make sure and do not regret, too bad I didn’t hear about the school sooner.
SO great to hear your experience with WGU has been great! Many people who don’t understand them will call them a diploma mill. But proctored finals make it more secure than a number of big “prestigious” online programs in our book!
Question for the upcoming q&a: I saw on the internet a lot of people talking down on Harvard’s Extension School, saying it’s only for people chasing prestige and that employers know it’s isn’t “real Harvard”. My question is, do u think it’s better to go to a school like ASU which shows no indication of being online on the degree vs schools known as online?
Good topic! We will include it
Because of your videos I enrolled into Liberty University less than a year ago. Almost finished with my first year and i honestly can’t complain although I’m at SAHM who isn’t as busy, I get to finish my class work faster and I truly believe the work is manageable even with a busy schedule, I mostly seen two assignments per week , or sometimes three for each class you take per semester. If your taking two classes per semester that’s just 4 assignments per week
🤩 Excellent feedback, thanks for sharing and congrats!!
Is the courses mostly essay based or exam and essay focused?
Transferred my AAS degree to SNHU, and just finished my BS in one year.
CONGRATS!! 🥳🥳🥳
The injustice for UMGC, got me all excited with the thumbnail. It’s a great school for military!
Haha! Sorry 😅
SNHU has all the bells and whistles but I have found that they are incredibly writing intensive. I’m in my second term and as a full time working mom I have found it’s difficult to find the time you need for their classes. Every week you read the text book and then you write a paper and do a discussion post. Even with their math courses. I’m a test taker rather than a paper writer so it’s something to consider if you’re thinking of SNHU!
This is great feedback! There are definitely some schools that skew more towards final papers, and some that are more about final exams. If you find you need a switch and you’re not too far in, it could be possible :)
@@CollegeHackedwhich schools are those?? More geared toward finals?
@@hvneybee3 Mainly WGU
Just got my M.A. from SNHU. It was great.
Is SNHU a college that's fairly possible to attend full time while working full time?
@@thedawnslayer5473yes if you wanna do 1 class per term it might take longer tho. Unless you do everything on Sophia
@@thedawnslayer5473 Yep. It's structured with people who work full-time in mind. I did it and it totally worked.
Absolutely I am doing it now... will graduate Fall this year
@@thedawnslayer5473yes, I’m doing it now!
So crazy I just found this channel a couple days ago and looking to start @Umpi . Great Video I definitely need a consult I sent an email had a question. I told my daughter who is at GSU to start hacking classes ASAP and save money as I’m now on the hook for previous college debt hers and my own 🙄😕. This time I’m looking to do it differently this time. Keep doing all the great work.
UMPI is great. I just currently started. 1800.00 for a Bachelors. This is wonderful 6 months completion.
Awesome!! We hope to see you in a session soon 😄 Love that you put your daughter on notice 😂👌🏼
Thank you for all the information you're putting out there. Thanks to your reviews, my husband just submitted his application at UMPI for the Liberal Studies program. We are very grateful!
We are cheering you guys on!! He may be the one completing it but we know the whole family sacrifices, you got this 👏🏼👏🏼
Im glad I come across this video. I started SNHU in January of 2024, this fall 2024 I will received my Associate Degree from Southern New Hampshire Univerrsity but I do want to chose another school for my BS degree. Im looking into Business Adminstration-Finance. One of the school that was mention and I am very interesting in is Purdue Global and Columbia Southern University (My daughter attend school there). I do have alot of credit to transfer from previous college in Business and Accounting.
Congrats on your impending AA!
Can u review ASU in a more in-depth video. Id love to learn more about it. Thank you 👍
They don’t allow enough hacking for us to do a full video on them 😔 But maybe someday they will!
'CollegeHacked' includes them on a list of colleges to hack. Why would you think they're a college to hack, you twit
@@CollegeHacked this is good to know. I was just about to ask the same because I am considering enter to the neuroscience B.S. there.
@@macarenaaraya1277 It's a great school, but you're definitely paying for it. For a rare major like neuro though, it makes sense to if the long-term goal needs it :)
I went to ASU it's a good school. I loved my experience. Coaches and advisor were great. Professors fantastic
These types of videos are a great source of information for non-standard students especially.
However, I think it would be interesting if you could make a video pushing back against the anti-college sentiment that has become popular in recent years, especially online pushed by different influencers.
They especially seem to criticize non-stem college degrees as being a waste of time and even pushing people to drop out and pursue careers in trades instead, considering opportunity costs and average salaries.
I think they may be causing harm to younger people especially, by convincing them that going to college in general is a scam, so offering some more push back against that narrative could be helpful.
This is a great idea. We covered this recently in email newsletter format, but a video on it is a good idea. Thanks!
I appreciate you making these every year.
You’re so welcome! 😄
Wow! I was hoping to do Physics at ASU, but what you said about Liberty has me questioning. I'm looking for a college degree online to study and work, and you definitely expanded my vision!
I would go for LU’s physics program it’s cheaper
Umpi isn't what I thought. I have submitted my official transcripts from both sophia and from my college. And, was told I had 23 classes to complete my degree. Mind you, I have 83 credit hours completed through sophia and have my associates degree as well. Something doesn't sound right. I had my application withdrawn.
If you applied into a structured major, that would make sense. Having classes to transfer is great, but if they aren’t the same classes the new degree requires, only some of them can actually be utilized. If you were to reapply into a Liberal Studies major you’d see a lot more classes accepted :)
I'm from the Dominican Republic, which university (computer science) is the best fit for international students? Thank you, great work you guys are doing!!
Thomas Edison State University 👍🏼
I am undecided between UMPI and Liberty, I like the athletics program at Liberty.
Liberty is an average of $14k fully hacked, UMPI is $5,500 but doesn’t have the awesome D1 facilities and such 😝 Life is all about tradeoffs!
can you do a review on Arkansas State University, apparently they have degrees online and are credit transfer friendly, up to 90 credits@@CollegeHacked
UMPI is for people who want to go faster and take larger amounts of courses per semester. Liberty charges per credit hour.
TESU B.A. -> WGU M.S. -> best online DBA (excluding liberty university)?
We recently became aware of South College and their CBE DBA option 😄 What criteria are you most focused on-speed, learning, student experience, cost, etc?
Well, interesting. For me the experience is important, then the cost. I’m pretty open, just started exploring. I think graduation rate speaks a lot for these programs so I’ve been looking at that metric as well
I have 103 credits but my lupus pretty much won't let me physically travel for school. Im so happy i found this channel.
You got this!!
As an immigrant in the United States this is a great opportunity for me.
It is indeed! 😄
Finally…. someone that seems like they know how this all works.
I would like to take online courses to earn at least 30 credits or even an Associates Degree.
Im in my mid 40's and am almost done with my career.
Going to then start a post retirement job and they pay much better with a degree.
Would love your input on what may be best for me, which means maybe getting credits from my current career experience, have this certificate or Associates done as quickly as possible, low cost and anything else that would help.
Looking forward to hearing from you and your expertise in my choices.
Thank you very much and i'll be watching more of your videos to get me going in the right direction.
Excellent! You’re well positioned for a competency based degree, like the YourPace majors at UMPI. That will allow you to utilize your existing knowledge to finish faster. On average it takes about a year with no transfer credit, and about $6k. We can help you compare schools if you’d like, or we have several videos on UMPI, Purdue Global, and Western Governors that should help.
@@CollegeHacked Hopefully in less than a year, or if possible, an Associates degree to possibly save more money.
I already have a date scheduled for June 25th with you guys.
Hoping for the best.
@@gcastro239 Awesome! I'm really glad you scheduled, I have some exciting ideas and I think you're going to like the time/price/degree(s) :) See you then!
I'm about to graduate from SNHU with my bachelors in Communication Studies, would it make more sense to continue at SNHU to get my degree in Business Administration, or switch to a school like UMPI for that? Looking for the fastest and/or cheapest options.
Are you saying you want a second bachelors next, or a masters? :)
A second bachelors degree. @@CollegeHacked
Awesome Im looking into transferring into WGU for their Marketing Degree and possibly their Master Program afterwards
Thank you so much for the great information !!!!!!Excellent
I go to SNHU!! I love it
What kind of testing is required at SNHU
Can you make a video for those who want a more quality curriculum/education but also hackable and perhaps on the affordable side as well? Or maybe not so affordable lol but definitely hackable!
😂 If you find a school like that, let us know! 😉
I think the mission is pretty clear of this video!
I am in my MPH program at LUO and I feel like they are the Chick-fil-a of colleges. Very helpful.
Haha! Might have to steal this one
My worry is getting a “degree” with Perdue or Umass and not getting hired because “its not valid” do you have a video on that for instance I am leaned towards getting BA in early childhood education to be a teacher. I spoke to some local universities and still confused why is it they don’t accept Sophia. Please answer any advice.
Hello I am mid 40 and I have been working in IT for 20 years. I have Bachelor Degree in CS in Vietnam 20 years ago and relocated to US thru work (H1B). I am planning transitioning to education career (Elementary/Special Eds) in about next 5 years. I can study up to Master in Education. I am a full time job and a mom now. What are your recommendations for me to study with my pace, may be slow with affordable tuition and flexible time? Thank you very much.
Check out Western Governors University! Flexible, work at your own pace, lots of education major options at the undergrad and grad level :) You got this!
My family and I currently live in South America, but we will be moving to North Carolina in a few years . They think that it wouldn’t be a bad idea for me to study something online, like a bachelor’s degree , while we complete the rest of the process. Do you think there’s a online college for my case lol ? In that case, which one would you recommend me ? I focus on cybersecurity and IT in general
Absolutely :) Purdue University Global has both IT and Cybersecurity in their ExcelTrack format. They don’t mind where in the world you’re located, or if that changes during degree completion.
I am thinking about doing this while simultaneously attending community college and maybe 4 year afterwards. I could get a bachelors in business admin from 4 year, AA from community college, AAS in business major of choice to complement my BA in business. Or I could even get another Bachelors or AAS online depending on funds and time.
That is possible, but the question is why? Make sure to figure out what you need before diving into such elaborate measures :) Unless it’s for fun, all that is almost guaranteed to be unnecessary.
Would be awesome to see a video on Georgia techs online program from what I’ve read it’s about $180 a credit and you get an identical agree to those who go in person.
Nice! We’ll have to look into it 🔎
An old Navy buddy of mine was in Georgia Tech's MS in Cybersecurity. I saw it on Edx a few years ago and told him about it. It was kicking his butt so he dropped out a few times. I'm not sure if he plans on going back.
@@lawrenceq79 Yeah i heard it's very hard but still seems like a great opportunity trying to learn more about it right now!

My husband and I are thinking of going back to school, but online due to our busy schedules. He was thinking of ASU and I was thinking of Capella or Purdue. I don't see Capella on your list and I was reading they were acquired by Kaplan years ago and that Capella was in some murky waters for not being honest about what they were charging student. What are your thoughts on Capella? I see you rated Purdue #6 on your list, and I see Capella didn't even make this list lol!!! Purdue looks like it's more my speed in terms of how fast I can obtain my degree, course work and price.
You found the Capella video! 👏🏼
@@CollegeHacked lol!! Yes I did!!!
@@CollegeHacked before finding your vid I reached out to Capella for info but yea, I’m changing my mind lol!! Purdue seems like a better path. I didn’t understand the 180 credit thing tho :/
There are mixed reviews about Purdue Global not actually being Purdue university tho? Are these 2 schools that same?
@@dominiqued.4114Check out our UMPI videos :) Purdue has 5 finals per course, they have 1 final per course. both schools still require the same number of total classes though, so Purdue isn’t 180 credits because it’s more classes.
Is Purdue university or excelsior university a prestigious and cheap for earning an MBA in a reasonable time frame.
Purdue University Global, Western Governors, or Liberty University are fast places to do an MBA
Hi, does ranking matter, do I have to find online schools that fit the QS ranking? For example i saw SNHU is in the ranking in Regional Universities North but it wasn't among the top. So wonder if any hirer would look at that
Almost never matters, unless you’re hoping to work at a FAANG (now MAMAA) company
Can you do review of Unity environmental university? I don’t hear much about.
Never heard of it. After looking it up, it’s regionally accredited and accepts 90 credits of transfer, which are both important. But they don’t have any equivalency guides that I can find for ACE credit, which we are looking for in order to recommend them for hacking. Very specific major options too, so this is more of a niche pick for someone with a specific goal not looking to hack to the maximum.
im international and absolutely poor, also want a good reputable online university, i get paid only 80$ a month, and i am autistic, could you please tell me which online university can i afford? yet i don't want employers laugh at my degree
Least expensive is going to be University of Maine at Presque Isle, but even that is $1,700 per 8 week term
I'm wanting to go abck to school and was thinking University of Phoenix. I read that they are connected with University of Idaho and now a Non profit. What are your thoughts on this school? I was choosing between UofP or SNHU.
Absolutely do not go to University of Phoenix, unless you have an employer paying the entire cost. SNHU would be much better, but there are non-profit, regionally accredited schools you can finish at for half the price. The right school for you depends on your unique set of priorities 😄
As a first time college student having taken 2 gap years due to personal reasons.. and also being 19 and even more reasons im not currently able to go to physical school as well is online college a good path to take to get an associates degree in business. If so what online college would best be fit for that?
You can get an accredited bachelors degree in one year for about $6k, so we recommend that over an associates. Unless the AA is for a trade or licensure :)
@@CollegeHacked Do you know what school would be best for that and do they take fafsa?
@@issacgutierrez2473There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a school (delivery method, cost, student experience, etc), so that would be better covered in a session :) You can book at collegehacked.com!

My only issue with UMPI is they have one masters course 😥
Which are the fastest masters or mba (less than 1 year). ? Any take life experience to reduce your time.
Liberty University, Purdue Global, WGU
With my transfer credits I did Walden MBA in one year. They offered a few pathways I took specialized
Do you have a video on bachelors concentrations and if you think they’re valuable? Purdue has one for project management. I took the first class of it and it was basically everything you learn if you take intro to Scrum. All on the agile methodology. I will say they did go over other methodologies and how they differ. I think my electives are maxed out, just from all my transfers and stuff I did on Sofia. So adding a concentration would be on top, and I’m wondering if the payoff is worth the effort.
For PM in particular, a PMP is infinitely more useful than the specialization, and costs a lot less 😜 At Purdue the PMP actually transfers in as the whole concentration, if I remember correctly. But to answer your actual question, we think specializations are a waste of free elective space in 95% of situations. But if it’s the only PM geared classes you’ll touch in your degree and you want the ability to write something like “with specialized college classes in topics like…” in your cover letter (so if there’s a plan for why you’re going out of your way to take them), then it could be worth it :)
I am considering PG for project management. If you have started down the business administration track can you tell me if the course is very writing intensive?
please do research on Chamberlain University. The school is popular but super expensive.
It’s for-profit, which is why it’s expensive and also why we don’t recommend it. It’s owned by DeVry, which has a similar reputation to University of Phoenix. A much better path to RN is through a local hospital program, and then you can roll that into an RN to BSN program online, like WGU offers!
What are your thoughts on the University of Florida online program?
Good school, just not hackable so we don’t talk about them much
Which of these schools have the best or most credible psychology, counseling, or behavioral health programs ?
IU university of applied Sciences
Liberty University has great ones!
Thanks for this video I chose Liberty University and am currently hacking their physics degree.
Greetings from Dallas, Texas! What are your thoughts regarding the American College of Education? I have an A.S. from Dallas College and roughly 65 hours of previous coursework completed at Texas A&M University. Thank You!!!
It’s a for-profit, so our general stance is that there are better options. :)
What is the best school for a BS in accounting? No prior transfer credits..
Best meaning most hackable? UMPI YourPace Accounting :)
Looking to get a Masters, then PhD, probably Business , but open to other subjects. I'm retired, (need to keep the brain active) so COST is very important. Are there programs that combine? As in, some of the Masters work, gets credit toward your PhD? Thank you.
Check out Liberty University. They let you hack up to half your degree via life experience at the graduate and terminal degree levels.
What are the best online colleges for an associates degree in Business Administration?
TESU has a number of options
@@CollegeHacked Do you think it is better than SNHU?
@@HaydenDougherty-xq3ug It depends on the person and individual priorities and goals, but I do think TESU is nicer and more helpful than SNHU.
What about National University out of San Diego? I discovered them while searching. They have 4 and 8 week terms. I think they take ACE credits. Are you familiar with that school?
They only take a max of 15 credits from ACE sources like Sophia/CLEP, we’re looking for schools that take 90. But it’s not a bad school.
@@CollegeHacked I didn’t realize they only take 15 ACE credits for transfer. Thanks for the reply!
Care to give an opinion on the University of Arizona global campus? Thank you
It’s alright, there are usually more hackable options though, depending on major
What do you think is better, Umass or Perdue Global?
For hackability, Purdue. For learning, UMass.
hi College hack!! one more question, how do you feel about regent university? would you prefer regent or LUO? thank you.
We both worked at LU, so we know a lot more about it than Regent. But looking at Regent, it looks pretty similar to LU. Though they don’t appear to be as hackable.
@@CollegeHacked thank you. i appreciate it.
I have a question!! Desperate for an advice! I’m 18 just graduated Highschool and want to do college online due to the fact that I need to work right now. I can’t be at an in person since I need my job. I don’t want to hack the system I want to learn a lot and take my time and have that 4 years like everyone else who gets a BSW (bachelor of social work) degree. What one is best for me?
There are a number of schools that would fit that description. And hacking doesn’t have to mean learning less, it’s all about how you approach it and the effort you put in. A couple of top tier schools we recommend online are ASU, and Oregon State.
Any opinions on Columbia southern University
Yes, just released a CSU video recently
I have yet to see you mention UMGC. Is it decent or no? I’ve been comparing going to UMGC-SNHU-LU (MBA)
Yeah, it’s good! We’ve built UMGC plans for clients before. There are just usually more hackable/less expensive options when it comes to the majors they offer so the demand isn’t as high. But it’s on the (long) list for a video.
@@CollegeHacked I guess I’m more concerned with quality/prestige since I’m not worried about cost(GI Bill).
@@UnknownRandom-vf4ud I don't think UMGC has a particularly prestigious reputation, although it's not a bad school, it's not one I see a reason to spend extra money on. Something like Liberty, ASU, or Oregon State would be worth more money.
@@CollegeHacked maybe I used the wrong terminology. Instead of prestige, maybe reputation. I’m a Christian and I don’t mind Liberty, but I also hear quite often it’s frowned upon. Does Liberty have a better reputation than UMGC in your opinion?
@@UnknownRandom-vf4ud Yes, Liberty is going to carry a more meaningful brand name mostly because of the roots of UMGC. It was formerly the continuing education branch of the UM, which isn't a bad thing but doesn't carry the same longitudinal strength as a school like Liberty or Regent. People love to sensationalize Christian schools in general, but then Falwell gave everyone a reason to really bandwagon on that with Liberty in particular, which is probably the main hype you hear (he was also the source of the political leanings and the Title IX issues). But if you need proof they are doing great things in terms of the education and student experience, Google the Liberty Champion and read the student news. It's full of Alumni doing impressive things in all kinds of industries :) Searching people by school on LinkedIn also yields some great results.
I don’t care about the time to graduate yet I have no money
FAFSA? :) You might qualify for money you don’t pay back when you’re done with school (grants)
Same, there are always loans though.
Good afternoon! Considering WGU for a business degree. I have a little over 20 years of logistics experience and desire to increase my income. Would you have any recommendations ? Thanks
WGU is a good school! There are others that might be a better fit for your situation and priorities, too, depending on what those are.
I have an odd goal of getting an an applied and theoretical doctorate. I’m currently getting a DBA from Capella. Would you recommend a PhD from Liberty in order to get in academia?
Indeed! You need a good brand name and a healthy dissertation (not applied project or thesis) to get into academia. But even then, we strongly suggest rethinking that direction unless you truly know what the landscape looks like these days. Most people are getting out of academia, not into it. LinkedIn is full of awesome academics being vocal about how bad the working environment is, and having been one of the people to defect from traditional academia in the last few years, I agree wholeheartedly. Don’t want to sour anyone’s dreams, but make sure you go into it with eyes wide open. :) All industries go through ups and downs, entering on a down is 👎🏼
@@CollegeHacked thank you!!!! Appreciate the advice!! what educational career path would you recommend as someone who about earn an applied Doctorate instead of academia?
Hi, I just left high school, I was hoping to become a surgeon, but a traditonal 4 year is too expensive for me. Which online college do you think would be best accepted by a medical school?
Thank you
Unfortunately, you’re going to need to do your sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, etc.) residentially. But you can do them at a community college :) Then transfer them into an online degree where you’ve hacked your general education and electives to graduate faster and cheaper. Don’t forget all the extracurriculars along the way!
What are your thoughts on Pace University online master programs?
I’d like to know this too
Excellent school. Private, non-profit. Not hackable, expensive, and competitive, so not one we’d spend a lot of time talking about 😉

Temple and Drexel definitely aren’t hackable, unfortunately. Purdue Global or UMPI would be good 1-year-or-less options.
Thank you for all the information you provide. I’ve decided to stay with UMPI. I just have one question, what type of courses/credits are accepted as electives?
Just about any Sophia course! Just not the math ones with the word “foundational” in them :)
Once you're accepted at UMPI and have an account with them, you will have a link to look up what transfers. I think the list is a little outdated but still helpful.
@@Plantsonpurpose thank u, I found it!
@@brandonstews238 Fantastic!

Maybe you can hack on Sophia.org and Study.com while you wait? 😄
Goodnight Clifford. If you are at 115 credits with UMPI in your BLS management can you apply to the MAOL?
Unsure about UMPI specifically! If you find out, let us know 😋
@@CollegeHacked I found out today. At UMPI if you finish in this session you can start the application for MAOL. But you have to let your advisor know that you plan to finish in this spring session or whatever session you choose. This school is amazing fast and has a flat tuition and a great option for a working adult.

What’s your opinion about the Walden Tempo program?
Walden is on the same level as University of Phoenix in our book. There are better schools :)
Which colleges are accredited? Also how does this work of you want to further your education would your degree be accepted and recognized?
Accreditation status is something you can look up easily using Google, there are hundreds of accredited schools in the US. Hacking doesn’t prevent you from getting jobs/entering grad programs.

The good news is they do have TECEPs to help with time/cost :)
@CollegeHacked yes. I did a tecep in a random history class to get 3 credits for residency requirement.
In the very near future, I want to get a hackable doctorate degree. Just finding a school that offers that is very hard. I did see Thomas Edison University offers a Doctor of Business Admin and a Doctor in Nursing Practice. Are they hackable or at least the Doctorate of Business Admin?
South College has a competency based DBA
Hello, I'm looking at your video and reading through the comments and want to say thank you for trying your best to respond to everyone , with that being said. Which school and top 3 majors you recommend for someone who works in Law enforcement as a Deputy wanting to go back to college online with 66 college hours in criminal justice and i cant decide which major or school to attend
UMPI Liberal Studies Criminal Justice. You got this!
I didn’t see Grand Canyon university on here? Any insights on why it wasn’t on this video?
Mostly because it’s a for-profit school 👎🏼 There are better quality, less expensive programs and those are the ones we focus on.
Can you please review Penn state global campus! I’m a student there and feel like I’m only there for the name at this point because it’s expensive and I haven’t had the best experience with them.
They aren’t hackable, so we don’t spend much time thinking about them, but if you’re not happy with your experience definitely jump ship. That’s a mega price tag to be unhappy with your experience. You could always take your credits and go to UMPI for a bachelors degree that costs $6k or less :)
Hi what about for a masters, Im a US citizen but had to finish my bachelors or titulo in Mexico now Im trying to do a master's in psychology because that's what I graduated as, can you help me with that Im 47 and hope I still have time to make something
Try send your transcripts to ECE.org or WES.org to see if these NACES evaluators will deem what you have as equivalent to a US bachelors degree. If they will, you should be able to use that to get into masters programs. If not, you’ll need another bachelors.
Stumbled across your video while doing research for an online degree program.
1st, thank you for the breakdown and information.
2nd - Have you had / heard of any experiences with Regis University? It's one of the few online and ABET accredited schools with a degree in Information Technology.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Regis isn’t a bad school, just expensive. Try Purdue University Global, their ExcelTrack IT degree is fully hackable and on the ABET list, ends up being about 11k. :)
@@CollegeHacked I appreciate the response. I've also been looking at a couple more that are hackable. I'll be adding them to the list.
Thanks again
@@HvyMetal4EverGlad you’re researching! :) You got this 💪🏼
id like to make sure im looking at the correct umpi can i get the link to the school please. i appreciateyou videos very helpful!

I thought TESU still lets you transfer up to 117 credits (27 from a CC AND 90 from ACE) just if you don’t take 16 credits from them you pay a 3300 fee is this still accurate?
Referring to the BA in general management
Yes, if you pay the residency waiver fee they’ll let you transfer in more than 90 credits. The hard part is transferring in the RIGHT credits, as you still have to fulfill all the specific degree requirements. So not just any transfer credit will work.
Would a UMPI BLS with all the possible CS courses be the same as a CS bachelors in terms of getting a work visa for the US?
Would it be the same in terms of getting a job for American employers?
Unfortunately UMPI doesn’t offer CS, so if you go the BLS route the only CS content you’ll be able to put in the degree are a few Sophia and Study classes. While the degree would technically check the box most employers need checked in order to interview you, you’re unlikely to have the same practical skills as someone with either a CS degree, or years of experience.
Hey sir, pls can international student apply to any of this colleges except the WGU ?? Thanks for your response.
Yes! All of these schools are open to international students except for WGU.
I'm a stay outside USA, birthplace third world country but residence in poland for work purpose. I wanted to doing my unfinished Bachelor in IT or IT Management suggested me with low cost. I search but could not find any suitable one!! 😅😅
Purdue Global fully hacked is about $11,000 :)
Which would you say have the best classes for someone who has been out of college for 10+ years and isn’t the best essay writer? 👀
The English and writing classes on Sophia! Low cost, low pressure way to get back into the swing of academia.
Does university of Massachusetts competency based program accept Sophia credits?
Do you mean UMass Global? We just put a video out on them :)
