Hello! I agree with everything you said, however, I do think there is some more information you should know. Yes, it is taking them a while to get regionally accredited, however, I would say that this is not entirely their fault. Getting nationally accredited is easier than getting regionally accredited and I have seen schools take up to 40 years just to get recently accredited. So it might take a while until the University of the People finally gets regionally accredited. Secondly, wild University of the People is not competency-based, they do allow Sophia and straighter-line courses. So it is at least somewhat hackable. Not as hackable as you would probably prefer, but I do think that's a start. The third thing I should mention is the number of programs. I have seen one university that was recently accredited that only offered one degree program and that was a nursing degree. The school is located in Colorado and it is a residential school, but it was a real school that did offer only one degree, so only having 3° would not be the lowest number of programs I've seen in the school. But all of your points still stand, I would say if you don't have any other options or if you international student or a refugee you should probably attend, but if you're a US student and need a degree to build your career more in the US, I would agree that there are better options out there for now. Hopefully, the University of the People can fix these problems.

I know you don't like this method but what do you think about using UofP courses for transfer credit as an alternative to Sophia and Study?

The only colleges I’m aware of that are “free” are the service academies and they don’t even call it that. They say it’s fully funded.

I got 20 months left on my G.I Bill. I already have 21 credits ( Comp1,Micro&Macro,Spreadsheet app, software for bus, Intro to bus, Art). Do you all think it's possible to finish an Accounting degree in less than 20 months?

Spot on

What is your thoughts on ashworth college?

Love your content - Please could you make a video on Degree Hacking in the UK - without needing any prior Highschool qualifications. I have been looking for universities in the UK (Online) - with no time constraints on how fast you complete the course but I am finding it difficult. Please could you recommend me a good university in the UK with these requirements. I am looking at doing a bachelors degree in business management, and I cant find any universities that are competency based. When I do find universities with this, it says I require conformation that I completed high school, which I dont' have. I would be most grateful for your help. I am new to degree hacking so I am not really sure how this all works.

They have scholarships if you can't pay so technically it is free, but regional accreditation is pointless unless you want to keep transferring credit to other colleges. If your goal is to go to work after then you're good to go! Go for it

Tell us how you really feel, Ryan. LOL

Even the name itself put me off. University of Phoenix has a good branding hence their marketing success albeit scammy

It’s really crazy

They cheaters
