- The University of the People is not free, it's not Regionally Accredited, and it takes over 4 years to graduate. You deserve a better degree, faster, and for less. Watch my Degree Hacking Tutorial here: www.DiplomaSecrets.com
If you want a college degree, but don't want to spend a fortune on tuition, and want to graduate faster... Degree Hacking is the fastest, most affordable way to earn a college degree.
What is Degree Hacking?
Degree Hacking is a simple step by step process that can help you earn an entire Bachelor’s Degree in as little as 6 Months. The process teaches you how to graduate WITHOUT textbooks homework, quizzes, group projects, lesson plans, study guides and more…
Who is Ryan Swayt?
I was a 2 time college dropout working a $12 an hour job, with a family to support. I was desperate for a better future. Long story short, I found a better way. I earned an entire Bachelor’s Degree in just 9 months and found a career I love. This process has changed my life, now I want to teach others how to do the same.

Hello! I agree with everything you said, however, I do think there is some more information you should know. Yes, it is taking them a while to get regionally accredited, however, I would say that this is not entirely their fault. Getting nationally accredited is easier than getting regionally accredited and I have seen schools take up to 40 years just to get recently accredited. So it might take a while until the University of the People finally gets regionally accredited. Secondly, wild University of the People is not competency-based, they do allow Sophia and straighter-line courses. So it is at least somewhat hackable. Not as hackable as you would probably prefer, but I do think that's a start. The third thing I should mention is the number of programs. I have seen one university that was recently accredited that only offered one degree program and that was a nursing degree. The school is located in Colorado and it is a residential school, but it was a real school that did offer only one degree, so only having 3° would not be the lowest number of programs I've seen in the school. But all of your points still stand, I would say if you don't have any other options or if you international student or a refugee you should probably attend, but if you're a US student and need a degree to build your career more in the US, I would agree that there are better options out there for now. Hopefully, the University of the People can fix these problems.
I did not know heir program was not accredited? Interesting to know! For a BSN, that is important.
@@KayDejaVu The University of the people is accredited technically. It's just a credited nationally and not regionally.
I know you don't like this method but what do you think about using UofP courses for transfer credit as an alternative to Sophia and Study?
There would be high risk of losing a lot of your credits because UofP isn't Regionally Accredited. Sophia and Study.com credits would be a lot more likely to be accepted. Plus cheaper and faster.
I am disappointed with the University of The People.
The peer assessment system gives unfair grades, because other students are not competent.
Instructors (lecturers) who act as they please, answer questions very slowly (days before they are answered), are inhumane (late assignments due to illness or accidents are not accepted), and so on.
The University of The People is also not accepted globally, very many universities do not accept diplomas from the University of The People. You have to repeat many courses if you want to continue at another university.
Materials that cannot be accessed, if you contact your instructor, someone takes a long time to answer, you have to wait 3 to 5 days, there are instructors who don't answer, there are instructors who are confused because the material was not prepared by them themselves, and various other problems.
Spot on
I got 20 months left on my G.I Bill. I already have 21 credits ( Comp1,Micro&Macro,Spreadsheet app, software for bus, Intro to bus, Art). Do you all think it's possible to finish an Accounting degree in less than 20 months?
The fastest student I've worked with for a Bachelor's in Accounting graduated in 3 months. So, yes! It's absolutely doable. Shoot me an email and I'll help you map out a path (ryan@9monthgrad.com)
My boss recommended this to me and after seeing this promoted on a show since I’m interested in getting a Bachelors and later Masters in Business Administration to possibly get a job in management or open my own business in the future after seeing your video is there another school you recommend?
If you want to accelerate, I definitely would find another school. I lay out some programs I like in this video... th-cam.com/video/O5jfmn1_vAA/w-d-xo.html
Hello :) I graduated at UoP in 2020 and completed a MSc in Computer Science here in the UK this year. I am not a great fan of that uni, but I have to admit that it opened the door to many opportunities (and it was very cheap for me paying lower fees in GBP). Is there a way for international students residing outside the US to do degree hacking in the US? Cheers, Alex
Thanks for sharing. Yes, international students can absolutely hack degrees here in the US. I just did a brand new training specifically for International Students. www.diplomasecrets.com/international-watch-page
Love your content - Please could you make a video on Degree Hacking in the UK - without needing any prior Highschool qualifications. I have been looking for universities in the UK (Online) - with no time constraints on how fast you complete the course but I am finding it difficult. Please could you recommend me a good university in the UK with these requirements. I am looking at doing a bachelors degree in business management, and I cant find any universities that are competency based. When I do find universities with this, it says I require conformation that I completed high school, which I dont' have. I would be most grateful for your help. I am new to degree hacking so I am not really sure how this all works.
Since every Country does things differently with education, it's impossible to be an expert on every area of the world. So I stick with US based schools... However, International Students get US based degrees online all the time. Here's a video where I lay that out... th-cam.com/video/8nT_2rR5Tls/w-d-xo.html
Hope this helps!
@@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671 Thank you!
Check out Ofqual which credits are transferable to degree programmes at some UK universities
@@Azwad Thank you
@@the_english_anime you're welcome. There are plenty of qualifications boards that are legit in the UK eg BTEC, GNVQ, City and Guilds, Ofqual and other further education programmes that's equivalent to education Level 1 to Level 8. Degree level is Level 6
The only colleges I’m aware of that are “free” are the service academies and they don’t even call it that. They say it’s fully funded.
Yep, that's a good point. Even then, you're still trading your time for tuition. But for people in the military, it's a sweet deal.
@@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671 yes, very exclusive. I ultimately did ROTC in college. Doesn’t allow you to graduate fast but does offset the vast majority of the cost and guarantee a full time job if you’re active duty or part time job if you’re in the reserves.
They have scholarships if you can't pay so technically it is free, but regional accreditation is pointless unless you want to keep transferring credit to other colleges. If your goal is to go to work after then you're good to go! Go for it
Every school offers "scholarships". They're almost always partial scholarships to get you enrolled. Are they giving out full ride scholarships to everyone who can't afford their "Non-Tuition" Fees?
One big beef I have is that it's tough to even graduate in 4 years. If you want to get the job sooner, there are much better options.
Regional Accreditation is also necessary for Government grants. So anyone in low income brackets can get degrees from Regionally Accredited schools for free through grants.
@@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671 what would be that better option? currently there is a program in the philippines where if you have 5yrs of work experience and you didn't graduate in college yet, you can take a 4yr degree and complete it in 1 yr. if I'm correct, it's called ETEEAP, but I wonder if there are much faster ways to get degree in the US
They are accredited and the big 3 colleges like Thomas Edison university and Excelsior university, etc will take the credits. They did apply for regional accreditation.
They are Nationally Accredited. Not Regionally Accredited. The big 3 you're referring to will pretty much accept anything, from anywhere. They've been trying to get Regionally Accreditation for a long time, but still can't get it.
What is your thoughts on ashworth college?
Pretty sure it's only Nationally Accredited. Plus I don't think they allow for full acceleration either.
I graduated from there. It a good college. I’m transferring to the big three colleges which is Excelsior University.
I attended for a while & it was just too boring & mundane like attending a real school with no end result except the degree u earned. Too many assignments if you want to learn part time. Perhaps a good alternative for a kid (fresh out of high school) but for me, it like high school all over again _studying stuff you wont remember or use in life. I’m a geek and love learning (programming stuff) but their material couldn’t hold my attention 😳
Thanks for sharing!
Tell us how you really feel, Ryan. LOL
Even the name itself put me off. University of Phoenix has a good branding hence their marketing success albeit scammy
Good point. And please don't fall for U of Phoenix! 😆
@@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671 of course haha
It’s really crazy
So crazy!
They cheaters
Yep!
