Florida resident looking for colleges

[dfrecore]

I posted this a while back. Pretty reasonable for Florida residents. They take some alt credit. And no calculus !!

Here’s another post on it from someone else on this forum.

Thank you. I was considering FIU and UF. But, I wonder which one would give me a more bang for my buck.....

Just compare all of the degrees you're interested in at each school.  Also, apply, to see who accepts you and what they bring everything in as.

THEN, you can decide what you want to do.

Really, you can only go by what you know, and that comes from the information you'll get from each school.

Strictly from a cost perspective for a Florida resident. Probably UF $130 per credit vs $230 for FIU. FIU may allow more alt credit though. But if you’ve got a ton a community college credits you won’t have to worry about alt credit anyway. Also I think UF is a bachelor of science vs Bachelor of Arts. Which means it will be more structured (less electives) and math heavy.  If you can handle the math , have the community college credits and don’t need alt sources. Go for UF

Generally speaking (not FL specific) a BS vs a BA is not much different - they both generally have the same number of electives.  It's just that in the GE, with the BA you need more "arts" courses (humanities and social sciences) while the BS requires more science/math.  Usually the same number of credits in the GE area, just spread out a bit differently.
