After going down the Rabbit Hole of trying to find the fastest route to getting a degree, I found your channel. I dug deeper and deeper into the whole thing. I've managed to knock out 50 Sophia credits in just under a month. (Yes, it takes a lot of work, but it's not difficult. You just have to be highly motivated and plan which courses to take based on touchstones) I'll be taking those and my previously earned credits over to UMPI. Let's see if I can do it in 6 months from my start date! Thanks for your content.
Let's say a school takes credits from everything Clep, Sophia, DSST, etc. would you say there's a best option? like if I can get my english credit from anyone is there one that you would say is best?
Good question. CLEP is the cheapest if you use Modern States, Sophia is the fastest. DSST is a good backup. That's usually how I look at it. Note that Sophia is also pretty cheap, and CLEP is also pretty fast. I find most of my clients prefer Sophia, but I personally would want to take more CLEP since I get to decide when I'm done studying.
Can you talk about UMass (University of Massachusetts)? I'm interested in a translation and/or language interpretation major, but no college besides them seems to have it online! (As interdisciplinary studies) Help! 😭 I don't even know if it's international friendly, sorry to bother.
Nice contents! I have been watching your channel and wondering if you could share few infos for those who want to take this route but reside outside of the US. Your help will be highly appreciated!
Hi, I just found your channel!! I’ve been binge watching. I’d like to earn a psychology degree with emphasis In Christian counseling or crisis counseling from LUO. Would you suggest Sophia and Clep? Any other recommendations? Thanks!
Oh, for sure! Sophia and CLEP will be your best friend. Study.com is the big one for some of those very picky upper level credits. I would really recommend checking out the relationship there. My team would be happy to help you build a plan! www.collegehacked.com
I'm from Puerto Rico and I tried college but it was expensive and I couldn't pay and I joined the air force to have college but now I want to finish my bachelor because I would be the first in my family to have my bachelor since my family is low budget and that it would be a dream for me
If you knock out all your UMPI courses in 16 weeks, that leaves $1,200 for CLEP and Sophia. And CLEP itself can be free if you do it right. So $1,200 for Sophia, Study.com, and StraighterLine is very manageable. If someone did it right, they'd have money leftover.
What do you recommend for an older visually-impaired adult on SSDI who hasn’t worked in 7 years and hasn’t taken any college classes in over 20 years, who is looking to become self-sufficient?
Colleges are required to make accommodations for you. It's a law. So I would find the easiest and quickest degree that checks the box so I can start work. Also, figure out what you want to do and what you can do. I think there are plenty of option. Best of luck to you
I have Canadian Credits that are from 1998 to 2016. I have an associates. I am American and Canadian, but never attended a US College/University. So if my associates degree is 7 years old, but i have about 86 credits in total... So i am wondering if my older credits expire that i took in business and administration. Or do i wait and see how each credit transfers through a Assessment?
Keep in mind that a degree doesn’t get you a great job, it only qualifies you for a great job. Ultimately, you have to be someone worth hiring in addition to having the degree :)
@@Messup7654 You need both the knowledge to do the job, but also the social skills to be someone people want to work with. That requires actively working on skills like humility, listening, and collaboration.

That is awesome! Yes, you are very much on track to finish within 6 months. Let me know how it goes! Clifford@collegehacked.com
Did you do it?
Boston University have one Bachelors degree online. But you must have around 65-90 credits to get in.
Amazingly helpful!! Would love to hear about UMASS also TY!!
Please do University of the People 😃 Would University of the people be valid to start a Master's at another University like Liberty, TESU etc?
I'll look into it.

Dr. Stumme. I enjoyed your presentation. I am over 60 years of age. Would your program work for me?
Yessir! I just consulted a gentleman who was 71 just last week. :)

Wgu or umpi? I have 95 credit hours right now but still need some general classes before taking major classes
WGU is generally a bad college to transfer that many credits into. I'd do UMPI.
UMPI. I graduated from UMPI. College Hacked is right here.

Is it possible for you to do a review or assessment on ecpi University online? Thanks
I'll look into it
University of people degree is valuable in all world??
Is the UMPI civil engineering degree hackable?
We focus on the YourPace programs, but my guess is no. Especially if they have ABET.
How can you pass classes with no HS experience? I have mature son
To attend the colleges we talk about, a high school diploma or equivalent will be necessary.
Do you know of any schools offering degrees like this for engineering?
@pandaangry1267 thanks but there are schools offering degrees online like LUO, University of North Dakota, and more.
Is it possible to hack to hack a Bachelors In Computer Science if so I would love to set up a consultation.
It 100% is. TESU and, I think, SNHU both have great options. And even WGU is a pretty good fit. We'd love to help you: www.collegehacked.com
@@CollegeHacked can you still create s course plan if I already started my courses I’m 9 weeks in
@@MichaelMaestas-f7l Yep, we help people who have already started all the time and oftentimes we get them on a better track.
@@CollegeHacked ok sweet I’ll definitely be setting up a consultation
Will these be possible if I choose an Australia college?
Is it possible to choose one in Sydney city to study medical science? If yes I would like to book a consultation
We specialize in US schools and rules, so can’t comment on Australia. Sorry!

You should leave this response on our most recent short, so you can enter the raffle for a free set of consultations with us 😁
Will this even be possible as institutions start cracking down because they're losing money?
Hopefully it will remain possible :) It seems likely that there will at least be a few schools who allow it if the majority stop.
I'm not sure that it is under $4k around it yes and there should be extra money spent towards Sophia and or Clep correct?

@@CollegeHacked thanks 🙏
If you have a bachelors how hard is it to get a second bachelors?
Not hard. 30 more credits of classes at the school at least

I find LUO has a good disability support system, but any college should work with you. LUO just seems to have better customer service than most.
Am I able to hack a finance bachelors degree?
Yep!
Do these colleges require the core classes to be completed with the college or it doesn’t matter? I think TESU require the core to be taken with them.
Very few colleges require specific courses be done with them. Most of them just say any 25% of the degree.

Great question. Credits don't expire. It's all about what the college you are applying to will accept.
We need stories of college hackers with great jobs afterwards. I just don’t want the degree. I want the career too.

@@CollegeHackedso how do you become someone to hire. If having the degree doesn’t get you the job then how can you possibly get the job
@@CollegeHackedif this takes you two years then why wouldn’t somebody just do extra college courses and graduate in 2.5 or 3 yeaes

@@Messup7654 Most people want to graduate for as little time and money as possible.
