They offer an RN-BSN, MEd and School Health Nurse (6 credit) programs fully online.

They offer numerous degree-completion programs online as well, with the upper year courses needed to finish. Not sure how revoking their ability to afford degrees will help the financial situation, though.

 

ABU also partners with Straighterline for credits transfer.

That's right, Ford. Until you get your finances in order, you are hereby prohibited from selling cars!

Yeah, that's gonna work.

Sure would. I like him, although I don't share his enthusiasm for marijuana. Interesting thing posted by him. Not sure where Snoop got his info on this. I don't think he said. Maybe school records? I dunno. That's where I got mine from, almost 50 years later. I was nearing the deadline - here, they clear them from the system after 50 years.

Google: "How Smart Is Snoop? According to his post (reposted from the account RapTV Zone), Snoop Dogg has an IQ of 147. It goes on to say that a score of 147 is "thought to be extremely high and that of a gifted genius," and Snoop captioned it with emojis including a shrug"
