5 Cheaper Ways to Get Degrees
The cost of college is no joke, and many students can graduate owing hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans. But this isn’t the way it has to be. There are ways to get a college education that don’t require students to take out huge loans. Below we have listed a few ways to get a degree on the cheap.
1. The Military – Are you torn between joining the military and going to college? There is an answer to that. All branches of the U.S. military have scholarship programs and even the option to learn while you’re serving. Check out the branch you are interested in to see what the options for students are.
2. Online – With just about everything online nowadays, schools are no exception. Online degrees can cost less than traditional and even offer flexible study times to busy students. And there are many credible degrees that can be earned online such as medical, information technology, and even business.
3. Testing and Advanced Placement – If you do well on tests, consider these options for colleges. Placing high in tests, such as the College Level Examination Program, can help you place ahead and make the pursuit for a four year degree shorter. Advanced Placement or AP classes in high school can also count as college credits.
4. Transfer – Many colleges and universities have transfer policies and students can save some serious bucks by utilizing them. Attending a junior or community college for the first year or two can cut tuition costs drastically and have students earning the same degree as those who spent all four years at the same college. Transfer credit policies vary from school to school, so this option should be done carefully.
5. Acceleration – Time is literally money in this type of degree program. Because classes are taught at an accelerated pace, students can cut the cost of tuition while keeping the time spent in school low. The downside is that students must be dedicated to studying and have lots of time for it.
