The flexibility of the program benefited me tremendously as I was able to incorporate my studies while balancing my personal and professional life. Being able to prioritize my studies alongside work and family responsibilities was a key factor in my success. Consistency, planning, and the program's adaptability all contributed to my overall achievements.
This program was well-organized and provided a clear roadmap to help me achieve my educational and career goals. The structured approach outlined a path for continued success, giving me the tools and guidance needed to accomplish my objectives.
My advice to anyone considering enrolling in this program is simple: go for it! You will not regret it. As long as you remain dedicated, motivated, and consistent, anything is possible. I worked a full-time job and cared for my family while earning my bachelor’s degree. If I could do it, so can you.
The unique learning style and pace customization positively impacted my academic journey. The straightforward approach, which included reading assignments, videos, and quizzes, allowed me to quickly understand the material. The “at-your-own-pace” feature was particularly helpful, as it enabled me to spend more or less time on specific courses depending on my ability to retain the information. This level of flexibility was invaluable.
Tuition assistance from my employer, NYU Langone Hospital, was a helpful and rewarding experience. Not having to worry about paying for school allowed me to focus entirely on my studies without financial stress. I deeply appreciate that my employer encourages learning and growth, making my educational journey even more fulfilling.

The flexibility that this program provides is amazing, especially with working a retail schedule and trying to have a life outside of that as well. My classes didn't have to be done on a typical school schedule; I could get them done when I had time. Even though there are deadlines you have to meet for coursework, they are attainable, and you can move faster on them if desired, too, unlike a normal class where you have to stick to their pace. I was able to utilize my tuition assistance on these courses as well, which just made things even easier because that was one less thing to worry about while trying to get classes completed. It also gave me the motivation to obtain certain grades and hold myself to a higher standard that I know I'm capable of.

The flexibility of the program is great. It allowed me to complete my courses after work and on weekends. I have three very active children with busy schedules and would attend volleyball tournaments lasting all weekend. I was the dad reading course material between games on his iPad. I really enjoy the pace of learning. I'm an avid reader and learner and traditional college was extremely slow to me. I used my company's tuition assistance, which was great. It certainly helps bring the cost of an education down. It was nice to have vouchers assigned for courses and not have to deal with checks and collecting funds.

Best program flexibility that will fit everyone's needs! I believe that to make the best out of the Pearson experience is making sure you have a degree plan with their counselors so they may find better suited courses that still fit the program needs. I used tuition assistance that helped, which Pearson was able to work with the budget they were allowing me! I absolutely loved the experience and would of done every other course I could with them only!

The flexibility of the program allowed me to balance both home and work. I was able to read my course materials and complete assignments at my own pace. The program also allowed me to complete my educational goals by closing the gap in the coursework I needed to matriculate to Southern New Hampshire. The coursework credits were completely transferred as well. The best advice I can give is to leverage the self paced learning and open book assignments/tests to get the best grade possible. The impact to my academic journey was preparing me to continue with online learning at my new school and what it takes to stay on target. The best part was that through my employer Verizon I received tuition assistance and was able to maximize the amount of courses I could take through Pearson providing a boost to my transfer credits.

Accelerated Pathways and the flexibility of their programs allowed me to take the classes of my choosing, at my own pace and guided me to being the most successful I’ve been in a classroom setting to date. The uniqueness of the program gave me the ability to take more classes than I would have in person while still working full time and spending precious time with my family. I was able to go at a faster pace in classes where I was comfortable with the material but not forced to move through material more quickly when the subject was outside of my comfort zone. The guidance and encouragement of my Academic Success Coach, Jay, helped me successfully reach each milestone of my academic career.

Pearson Accelerated Pathways has been a life-changer for me. The program is very flexible, which allowed me to set my own pace, by choosing how many weeks to spend on each class and how many hours to study per week. Without required lectures or attendance, it was the perfect for my full-time work, making it easy to study whenever I want. This self-paced structure helped me complete many classes while maintaining my job, and I’m now preparing to transfer those credits to my target school as I pursue a degree in Business Administration. Although studying self-paced without even online classes can be challenging at the beginning, but it gets easier over time. I’d recommend starting with one or two classes and gradually increasing your number of your classes. I also used tuition assistance through my employer – Verizon, which has been really helpful. As I aim to grow with a Verizon, this program has given me the opportunity to further my education and move closer to my career goals.

This program played a vital role in my quest to finish my degree. As someone with two jobs and very active kids, being able to take classes at my own pace kept me on my journey. Jay, my success coach kept me on track and offered encouragement. He answered any questions I had and outlined my degree path. I would encourage anyone who is interested in Pearson Accelerated Pathways to take advantage of the flexibility of the program. I started off taking one class at a time until I was comfortable enough to add more. I officially finished my bachelor's degree this year, and I don't know if that would have been possible without Pearson.

During the most trying time of my life, when everything around me seemed to be spiraling out of control, I found an outlet in school. My divorce, a painful child custody battle, and the immense financial hardship of legal fees left me feeling adrift. Amidst the chaos, I found solace and purpose by throwing myself into the one thing I could control: my grades and advancing my future. Pearson Accelerated Pathways became the lifeline I didn't know I needed. My success coach was a beacon of guidance, patiently listening to my concerns without judgment and helping me navigate the daunting task of continuing my education. They met me exactly where I was, showing me that moving forward was possible if I took my classwork one small bite at a time. This simple, yet powerful, approach transformed my perspective. My grades became a testament to my resilience, a tangible symbol of my ability to overcome adversity. Thanks to the support and tailored pathway from my coach and Pearson Accelerated Pathways, I have been able to build a brighter future for myself and my daughter, even when it felt like everything was falling apart.

I have been with Pearson for almost 2 years now, and it has been an amazing experience. Throughout the program I have received support and encouragement, and now I am almost ready to transfer to Southern New Hampshire University. As someone who works full time, the flexible scheduling was imperative to my success. I recommend this program to anyone seeking to continue or further their college education.

Pearson's program has aided me in accumulating coursework that I was able to transfer into my BSBA program. I really enjoyed the self-paced aspect and it helped accelerate my timeline by getting the general studies courses completed at a faster pace. Advice to those considering Pearson would be to take time and not overload the schedule. The pace that worked for me was one course at a time. That is while working full-time, if working less might consider doubling up. Celebrate the successes and keep striving towards the end goal. Pearson helped me get to my goals faster in a way I enjoy learning. Pearson's degree plan gave me the path to attain everything I needed. My employer, UPS offers a tuition assistance program, and it has propelled me to achieve my degree.
