Found this post on the other site I am reposting it here.... Pilgrim Theological Seminary has undergraduate level proficiency exams, many of which are upper level. They are in the fields of Criminal Justice, Theology, and Psychology/Sociology. They are in the distance learning, self-study format. They are National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS) accredited. Pilgrim Theological Seminary: College Credit Recommendations: National CCRS (PSY105) General Psychology (PSY160) Human Growth and Development (PSY 314) Organizational Behavior (PSY228) Adolescence (PSY326) Substance Abuse (PSY328) Alcoholism (PSY334) Encountering Death and Dying (PSY382) Abnormal Psychology (SOC105) Sociology (SOC301) Marriage and Family (SOC343) Social Problems (CRJ 105) Introduction to Criminal Justice The successful completion of an examination requires a minimum score of 75% Their website says, "We have eliminated the possibility of failing an examination by adding the grade of I (incomplete) to our grading system. A student receiving less than 75% on an examination is encouraged to engage in further study and take a second or, if necessary, subsequent exam. The seminary uses the following grading scale for all programs of study, projects, and examinations. 93-100% = A 84-92% = B 75-83% = C 75% or less = I (incomplete) A record of a completed course is added to a student's academic record only when an examination has been successfully completed and all course requirements have been met. Incomplete grades are not placed on a transcript. To ensure academic integrity, we require that all exams be taken at an authorized Pilgrim Seminary Testing Center or, when necessary, be proctored by an adult unrelated to the student. A proctor must be a person of high moral character and be willing to oversee the taking of a series of computer based exams. Paper exams are provided for incarcerated students. Please remember that individual proctors must be approved in advance." There is an annual registration fee of $52 and exams are $20 each. There is also a one-time $20 application fee. They recommend you look for the textbooks on Amazon.com and/or at other online book retailers.
Tuition ... and it says: "The Seminary Examination Center (which administers all of our exams) charges an annual registration fee of $100 and a fee of $18 for each examination taken". They might want to invest in a full domain name because being name.host.com is a bad look. But I do think their approach is smart getting their courses approved for credit from a reputable organization first, instead of just doing what mills do and either faking accreditation or just offering totally worthless courses at exorbitant prices. I'd like to see more programs doing this.
i have to admit it's a little different to be going through a site which lists the following headers. Degree Program------Tuition & Resources-------Prisons The degree program page is blank by the way..
Not so new. We talk about Nations University a lot, and they have support specifically for incarcerated students.
