Dare to Compare the Costs. You'll see!
If you've already visited our Services page, you've seen a brief description of the support that we provide. We charge the general public a one-time administrative fee for a lifetime of support at a rate of $400 for undergraduate level degree support (which includes support for both the Associate's and Bachelor's degrees) or $300 for graduate level support (which includes support for both the Mater's and doctorate degrees). For those who desire our support to complete their high school diploma at a distance, the cost is the same as for undergraduate degree support.
We also offer our clients a discount of at least 10% (larger discounts may be negotiated for dedicated support of larger corporations and government agencies). Compare these prices with those above and you will find that we are considerably less expensive that all of the other national counseling support operations. Also, consider that we are offer a lifetime of support to students for the one-time fees presented here.
What Do You Get With Our Support?
What do students get for the investment? As is presented on our services page, we offer:
Undergraduate and graduate degree planning support at a distance using our state-of-the-art degree exploration system, Degree Quest - the only system in the nation capable of digitally streaming students' academic achievements into the curricula requirements of thousands of degrees to uncover which are the best options for them to consider. Every student is provided with a Comprehensive Educational Assessment and multiple degree plans in the subject desired.
Counseling support for students pursuing degrees at their local colleges and universities, building their degree into our Degree Post system to enable guidance in the use of resources to help them succeed in the educational endeavors.
Lifetime access to our advanced student support website, the Higher Education Resource Connection, with more than a thousand resources presented to assist them.
Access to a comprehensive online seminar, Strategic Education Planning for the Adult Learner, with 18 modules of instruction designed to empower students to succeed in their pursuit of a degree.
A continuum of counseling support from degree exploration to admission and onward to graduation. Our goal is their success and we are at their side along the way, helping them save time and money.
These just represent the added value that we bring to individual students. Keep in mind, when we provide support to a corporation or government agency, we can take this to the next level at no additional cost to the organization. That includes helping employees get the credit they deserve for their professional training, either through application of the credit already evaluated by ACE, National CCRS, or CCAP, or rallying colleges and universities to evaluate your training for college credit through institutional evaluation (a process that research conducted by CAEL show that 3 out of 4 public colleges surveyed said they would take the credit in transfer). We also will build a dedicated website for your organizations higher education support, track and report cost savings on a recurring basis, embed your organization's logo at the top of every degree plan created, and more - all at no additional cost to the organization other than the opportunity to provide support to your workforce. Also, federal law allows the administrative fee that we charge be deducted from existing employee educational benefits, making it possible for us to provide support right away with existing funds, without having to approach board members for approval.
Our students over the previous decade had amassed a potential cost savings of more than $330 million, as well as saving themselves more than 46 million classroom hours. What can we do for you? We look forward to showing you how we can help you achieve your educational goals, while saving time and money.
