One loop hole that gets completely overlooked is the equivalency exam.
The nontraditional approach to higher education says that if you have knowledge of an academic field, then you should get credit for that knowledge, regardless of how or where you acquired the knowledge from.
About 3,000 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada award students credit toward their Bachelor’s degrees solely on the basis of passing examinations.
College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) and Excelsior College Examinations together administer more than 70 equivalency exams that are given at hundreds of testing centers all over North America. It usually costs anywhere from $50-$100 to take an equivalency exam.
If you feel you have sufficient knowledge in a given area you may save yourself time and money by taking an equivalency exam.
