#5. Finish your degree for less

Grace College offers various bachelor’s degree completion programs online. You could be eligible for a $100 discount per credit hour if you transfer from Ivy Tech or have an associate’s degree in Ancilla, Crossroads Bible, Harrison, Schoolcraft, Vincennes, or Wayne County Community College. Explore the degree completion programs Grace offers.

#6. Earn college credit for your life experience

Bachelors programs, listed above, require a certain amount of college credits to be admitted. If you don’t meet the credit requirement, you can earn up to 24 Experiential Learning Credits. Experiential Learning Credits, or ELCs, are college credits given for life experience. These can be from volunteering in your community, certifications, courses hosted by your employer, and many other documented experiences. Here is an example of an Experiential Learning Portfolio and here is a guide to Experiential Learning Credits. Contact Jodi Baker with more questions about ELCs.
