Maximize Transfer Credits

Don’t start from scratch — your previous learning and experience could bring you closer to your degree. Colleges today often accept transfer credits from AP or CLEP exams, Sophia Learning, Study.com courses, and even workplace training. We’ll guide you through the process so you can save time, money, and effort on your path to graduation.

College Alternatives

A traditional four-year degree isn’t the right fit for everyone — and that’s okay. We’ll help you explore whether a college degree supports your goals or if a trade school, certification program, or alternative pathway could be a better option for your career.
