Question 1

What is strategic degree planning?

Accepted Answer

Smarter by 1 Degree and its partners have created relationships with universities to offer a strategized pathway for its students. These are not available directly through the university.

Strategic degree planning is where we map out every requirement for your bachelor's degree and then pick the best classes to fulfill them! Strategy is everything.  Earning a degree at a university is the same. The difference is one student pays $69,000+ by taking all of the classes at their university over 4 years, while another student follows the strategic degree plan and takes specific classes offered by Smarter by 1 Degree which allows the student to earn the SAME degree for an average cost under $15,000. Each student graduates with the same degree, but one paid full price and the other was strategic and paid a fraction of the price! *Pricing varies by University https://www.smarterby1degree.com/teen-degrees

Question 2

How much does it cost to earn a bachelors degree through your program?

Accepted Answer

Great question! A bachelor degree costs up to $141,000 through our partner universities, but when strategically planned through Smarter by 1 Degree, the average cost is under $15,000 for our students! Same degree, but for less money, no busy work, and with college advisors that support you and have your best interests in mind.

Remember that includes 4 years of high school and the bachelor degree. Students take 1 class and earn 1 high school credit and 3 college credits for each class taken through our program.

Question 3

Can International students use your program?

Accepted Answer

Great question! Yes! Our program is great for international students who are seeking their bachelors degree in the United States.

Question 4

How long does it take to earn a Bachelor Degree?

Accepted Answer

High school students can earn their bachelor degree in 4 years. This is possible because every high school class they take is designed to meet a requirement for high school and for their bachelor degree. Students meet high school requirements for graduation by taking the first 30 classes in the degree. The students then take the 4th year to complete the last 10 classes which meet the bachelors degree.

Students Learn Once, but Earn Twice in our program. It's this strategy that saves students 4-6 years over their peers. We're not taking short cuts on education. Education is what will prepare students for success after graduation.

There is no time limit for students. Students can take as long as they need to complete their degree.

Question 5

I have a busy schedule, will I be able to earn a degree with your program?

Accepted Answer

You'll be able to work through your courses from the comfort of your own home or on the go from your phone or computer whenever it is convenient for you!

Question 6

Who is Smarter by 1 Degree?

Accepted Answer

Smarter by 1 degree was started by a teacher who had spent 16 years helping students meet their education goals in the most efficient and affordable way. When her daughter was in high school, she started searching for a way for her to earn a bachelor degree focused on learning and without busywork. If that wasn’t enough, she also wanted to find self-paced classes that allowed the program to be flexible, and it to be affordable so her family was debt-free for the degree. She realized she was searching for a unicorn, so she developed her own program and partnered with two regionally accredited universities to award the degrees. This allowed her students to earn the highest accredited degree in the United States and have the option to go on to grad school, medical school, or law school. Fast forward nine years and her daughter graduated with her bachelor degree at 16, Janine has strategized with over ten thousand students, and she built a team of 30 caring advisors to support you every step of the way.
