So it seems those interested in doing the BABA are screwed. The degree is now not hackable. All of the SDC and SOPHIA business courses that satisfied major degree requirements will now only transfer to UMPI as Business electives.

This is very devastating to the people who were completing the BABA degrees. It sucks that this came without warning. 

I am in the process of BA Psych and I have found only one of my classes has been affected (so far).

The other channel reported that Steve Levicoff passed away on  April 25. He certainly was among the OGs in the field of distance education, particularly regarding Christian graduate level schools and credentials.

Condolences to his family, friends, and all who admired him.

Hello, I’m looking for a PsyD or PhD in psychology (preferably clinical) that is online and is affordable. Must be accredited (if in US it should be regionally accredited). Due to my nationality it’ll be hard to do programs that require me to visit campus in US and most of Europe (due to visa issues) so prefer an online program. Will consider non US programs as well, as long as it’s a legit degree (and is in English). The cheapest I was able to find on my own is California Southern University. I know that there are some affordable universities in Asia, but I’m overwhelmed with the search. 
I have read that there are fully funded doctorate programs in Europe but I wasn’t able to find anything that is online. Looking forward to any info. TIA.

PUG, SNHU, UMass Global, and other RA institutions that accept up to 90 ACE credits or 75% of undergraduate requirements are regularly mentioned in this subforum.  Most of the time, people are asking for methods to start the process, I've been recommending people to take up to 90 credits from alternative credit providers to max that credit before enrolling at the institution of choice.

Study.com comes to mind, as they offer upper division courses that many ACE providers don’t—making it easier to knock out major requirements early. Courses - Designed for working adults, parents, or busy students—self-paced and fully online. Study.com removed unnecessary quizzes and assignments, so students can focus on learning and progressing faster. Final exams are now open-book and open-note. No proctoring = less pressure, more flexibility.

College Starter – $95/month: Unlimited courses (in a month), enroll in 2 at time (lower division)
College Saver – $235/month: Access to all upper + lower division, enroll in 3 courses at a time, with no limit on how many you can take in a month

An example of using Study.com to max those alternative credits for transfer, if you completed 6 courses in one month using the $95 plan, that’s just about $15 per course. Way below the cost of most providers, and you’re earning real, transferable college credit.

Curious what others here think—especially those who’ve used Study.com in the past. Are these the changes you were hoping for?

University of The People recently obtained RA and they've kept their tuition free model, the fees seem to be the same and haven't changed since then.  Prospective students are enrolling and wondering about the alternative providers to use in order to complete their degree within cost, time, and to max their credit transfers...

UMPI degrees are somewhat flexible and there are several majors and/or minors that interest prospective students, most students I see are having a hard time deciding where to obtain transferable credit.  There is information on the WIKI for degree plans, but with the recent changes at Study.com, you may want to investigate using them as an alternative credit provider to max your transfer credits before you start your UMPI degree.

As always, create a spreadsheet of the requirements, use it for reference and tracking purposes and also max your transfer with alternative credit. Study.com just rolled out a major update: No more unnecessary quizzes, no proctoring, no busywork, 100% online and self-paced, and new pricing models.

WGU is a great exclusively online institution that has several states endorsing them. For individuals looking at WGU degrees, they have particular requirements, and I usually recommend trying to max your transfer credits before enrolling at the institution.  As always recommended, review their partners.wgu.edu for alternative credit providers and create a spreadsheet of requirements for reference and tracking purposes...

For $95/month you can complete as many lower-division courses as you can manage, 2 at a time. If you hustle, the cost-per-course drops fast. They even removed proctoring requirements which are huge for flexibility. Upper division access is available too if you want to knock out tougher credits.

Let me know what you think of the changes — these seems like it's what I am looking for from Study.com

COSC has made various changes to their degree requirements and the alternative credit providers that they will accept.  Some members may find it harder than before to complete a degree due to these requirements.  I would recommend creating a spreadsheet and planning carefully yet resourcefully to get to your degree goal and finish.

Study.com is an approved provider within their directory, I suggest investigating that route for max transfer of alternative credits, especially when they provide upper level credits that may go towards your degree requirements, or if you want to knock out tougher credits cheaper, easier, faster than a traditional college...
