Another person who needs help deciding on schools <advice please>!
#5
After some helpful df member advice to stick with TESC over COSC due to not having much UL outside of SL, I've had a couple phone meetings with TESC advisors about rearranging & pinning courses to the categories I wanted them in.

It appears as though I am now pretty close to the finish line:

if I go with the Liberal Arts BA option, I will need 2 GE Electives and the Capstone. If I do the Social Science BA it would be 3 UL in SOS, and the Capstone.

I've been going over past posts like http://www.degreeforum.net/excelsior-tho...ement.html and http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...least.html and am getting more & more confused which is totally not the fault of those posts as they were very helpful. I tend to just over think and confuse myself with details :confused:. So would someone please tell me if my reasoning below is correct?

With only 3/4 courses left for either major, if I did the BA.LIBST I could probably just SL those last 2 GEs and do the EOP for the Capstone and be done, correct? No residency requirement, but a hefty annual enrollment fee and $1230/Capstone? (I'd very likely not go over that 1st year of fees b/c I'd only have to take the Capstone)

Or for the BA.SS I could choose the PCP w/ 7 TECEPs (which will bump 4 of my Elective courses down to "Other", but that's no biggie) or try to PLA, and then take the Capstone? So 21 credit requirement (approx. $840) plus $1560/Capstone? (this will likely take two years at the rate I am going)

Are there details or major costs I am missing? Sorry to be so dense about this! :o banghead
