The Cost of A Degree


College is Expensive

As the cost of college tuition continues to rise, more and more people are looking for an alternative path for earning a college degree. Public university students pay $9,400 per year for a total of $37,600 over 4 years, and the average private university student pays $54,501 per year for a total of $218,000 over 4 years for a bachelor degree. These numbers become even scarier when you consider that only 41% of students graduate in 4 years.


Strategic degree planning can save you over $30,000 on your bachelor’s degree!

Traditional & Non-Traditional Students

We’re going to show you how to get the same bachelor’s degree in 1 year or less and for as low as $6,000! It sounds too good to be true because you’ve always thought about earning your bachelor’s degree as a traditional student at a brick-and-mortar university; but there are other options, better options! Traditional students take 4-6 years to earn a degree, whereas motivated non-traditional students can earn their bachelor’s degree in as little as 6 months.



Non-traditional Learning Has It’s Perks

Alternative College Credits

If you’ve heard of CLEP or AP college credit then you’ve already heard of alternative credits. We’re not going to be taking these exams, but we will be earning alternative credits that are approved by the American Council on Education. ACE has played a major role in shaping higher education in the United States for more than a century. Since its founding in 1918, ACE has spearheaded programs, advocated for legislation, and led initiatives that have shaped the nation’s postsecondary landscape.

Check out our testimonials page to hear from Smarter by 1 Degree students who have degree planned, graduated, and were even accepted into Law School with alternative credits.
