About Me
I’m Cheryl Howard, MBA, MSN, RN, NI-BC - educator, strategist, and founder of Renegade Education. I created Renegade Education after realizing the traditional college system wasn’t designed for the average family — working adults, parents, and students who need smarter, faster, and more affordable ways to reach their goals.
In less than two years, I earned three accredited degrees. BSN, MSN, and MBA all by mastering the art of alternative education. I learned how to strategically combine ACE, CLEP, and partner credits to build real, transferable college progress at a fraction of the cost.
Then I applied the same strategy to my son, Farren, who completed 103 college credits by 15, was accepted to The College of New Jersey with 80 credits transferred, and graduated Summa Cum Laude at 17. Completely debt-free.
What began as a personal experiment turned into a calling. Today, Renegade Education helps students, families, and adult learners replicate that same success with a clear roadmap, tested methods, and measurable results.
Because education shouldn’t be a privilege — it should be a plan.

Why This Matters
Why This Matters
Sounds too good to be true? It’s not! It’s an innovative way to approach college and career readiness.
College costs have reached crisis levels, and funding is in doubt, leaving millions of families buried in debt before they even begin their careers. Traditional education rewards endurance and ability to pay, not efficiency, and often overlooks learners who take alternative routes.
The truth is, alternative credit pathways have existed for years, quietly saving students thousands of dollars while accelerating their degrees. COVID simply revealed what was already possible — flexible, legitimate, transferable learning that fits real life.
Renegade Education exists to prove there’s another way. One rooted in strategy, transparency, and real-world results. We help learners move from confusion to confidence through personalized credit mapping, self-paced learning, and partnerships that truly serve students and families.
Don’t let debt or disbelief limit your future. Whether you’re a parent helping your child or an adult returning to school, there are smarter, faster, and more affordable ways to reach your goals.
At Renegade Education, we’ve proven that these options work! In real households, with real results.
I did it. My son did it. You can, too!
