Looking for an economical alternative? Unlike
the other universities listed on this site, the
following is a state-licensed school but because
it is
none-Regionally Accredited, the institution offers
good distance learning education for less
than
US$12,000.00
SCUPS was incorporated in the State of
California in 1978 for the purpose of
satisfying the educational needs of working
adults who could not attend tradition
educational institutions due to lack of
accessibility or work and family
obligations. This realization led to the
commitment of offering degree-granting
distance education designed to meet the
needs of working adults.
Considerations prior to entry into
none-RA institutions
Advantages:
- Lower tuition due to lack of
Regional Accreditation
- Residency is minimal, with
programs taking 2 to 5yrs.
- Many companies recognize
these degrees as equivalent to
regular RA institutions.
- The student can select only
subjects relevant to the degree
program and thereby finish a
degree faster..
Disadvantages
- Some states and employers
prefer Regionally Accredited
schools and not just State
Licensed schools.
Our recommendation
Know your priorities. If
universal recognition is a prime motivator,
consider taking your degree at a regionally
accredited school. Some companies demand nothing
less.
But if you're simply after
education at a lower cost, you may opt for these
state-licensed licensed schools. Yes, they're
perfectly legal and coursework at these colleges
can be as demanding... but with the benefit of
vastly lower prices.
