Save time & money

  • Starting with your first course, every qualifying new student will be awarded one of our scholarships, or you’ll get the best savings you qualify for. 
  • When it comes to going back to school, the only thing better than a fresh start is a head start. Transfer in up to 87 prior eligible credits for many of our programs, and you could be 70% of the way to a bachelor’s degree.
