BS for Masters Degree Plan

[dfrecore]

1st, you still didn't say which school OSU is. Oregon? Ohio? Oklahoma? It's important to know.

2nd, 180cr usually is a quarter-based school, so you may be comparing apples-to-oranges here. 54cr from a semester-based school equates to 81cr at a quarter-based school. So you may not be as far as you think. Keep that in mind.

3rd, it may cost quite a bit to go back and "fix" that low GPA (like eating up your entire budget); and it may not be necessary. You may want to look at several schools that have 30cr required, and take those to give your gpa a boost, and many schools will look favorably on a student who left school years ago with a low GPA, and then came back and finished with a high gpa. Many have a "fresh start" program where they only look at grades X number of years old when admitting you; things like that are common.

I would probably look at UMPI, WGU, SNHU, Franklin University; schools that will let you take 30cr for a decent price, with all graded credits. It might be worth it for you to do that rather than go the Big 3 route.
