1. Grantham University
I was in the Army for 7 Years and with my AARTS they transferred 16 credits. I have
received my Associate of Science in Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology with
Honors because I worked hard for it. English was brutal, General Chemistry was tough and
Pre-Calculus was a mind-bender. But most of the teacher's helped me when I asked. Some
teachers even had a SKYPE™ account to work with me.
I'm now re-enrolled in a Bachelor's Degree program for Electronics Engineering Technology.
Each Teacher is different. Some go out of their way to help you and some do the
minimum...THE SAME THING AT A BRICK AND MORTAR SCHOOL. How do I know, my
wife attended an actual college and the teachers were different for each class too. Some
classes are easy and some are challenging...well duh, I may know more about one subject
(easy) and less about another (challenging). The entire idea behind getting a degree in the
first place is not to say you can remember everything you learned in two or four years, but
that you studied it and meet the requirements to work in the field or know how to find the
answers needed to work that field. That's why you don't sell your textbooks. You may need to
reference them in the future. The price is right for me and fits my budget since it is covered
by the GIBILL. My student advisor is AWESOME. She calls me all the time and helps me
whenever I need it.
I work in the Engineering field already and my employer recognizes the degree. Granted it's
not ABET accredited but my paycheck increased and it is recognized by some pretty big
named companies in engineering. As far as the AARTS, they will transfer based on what the
AARTS suggests. It is not absolute. They look at your experience and stuff to see how to
properly transfer the credits. I would not transfer all the credits both if you haven’t touched an
electronic course since AIT and you just retired from being staff oriented for the last 12 years.
You can request an unofficial AARTS copy for yourself and ask why some may not have
transferred. I receive real text books that ARE used in other big name universities...I looked.
Not many online degrees offer lectures. The idea for online degrees are to not sit in lectures
to learn but to learn at your own pace, which could be faster. Of course you have a minimum
learning pace. The Terms are perfect with the amount of time needed for the school to
assess if you understand the course. And don't think big name colleges or universities don't
have multiple choice tests--LOL, they do. I know someone who went to a big name school
and they grade the class on a curve, which means if the majority of the class passes, so do
you. How fair is that? Grantham grades you on you, not a curve. All in all, Grantham worked
for me. I suggest it to my friends all the time and I have seen many success stories. Detailed
