Some other universities with really interesting/useful approaches are (both accredited):
WGU: fully online, you can go faster and thus reduce total tuition costs, targeted to those whose work experience can justify college credit (competency-based, you can test out of things quickly, and tuition is by semester, for as many classes as you can take or test out of, I believe). Around 130k students, accredited by 4 different regional bodies, and affiliates in a number of US states: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wgu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wgu
BYU Pathway Worldwide: also fully online (I think), and very religious (though membership not required, just an "affiliation" or such, last I knew), but tuition is far cheaper, especially as it is adjusted based on the student's country of residence to be very affordable, and even has a program to learn English before joining the main curriculum (which is all in English), with ~ 61k students worldwide: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BYU%E2%80%93Pathway_Worldwide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BYU%E2%80%93Pathway_Worldwide
- lotsoweiners 3y agoI received a competency based bachelors degree, Northern Arizona University. These are great degrees for people already in the industry who are looking for additional credentials (my situation was I already had an associates and was employed as a developer). I would never recommend a program like this for someone with zero/low experience and without a good deal of self motivation and management.
