Help a beginner please! Big 3 questions

Let's say you could bring in 90cr from Sophia for all 3 schools.

The 24cr of RA you'll need at COSC and TESU will run you about $1600 through TEL.

The remaining EC credits will cost less than that (max $800 if you used Study.com for your UL).

So the total cost for each is:

COSC $4938
EC $6249
EC2 $6599
TESU $8411

COSC is still the cheapest, but I wouldn't let $1300 induce me to go there over EC, it would really depend on some other things - major/concentration is #1. Ease of finding credits is #2.

TESU still only requires 18cr of UL, all in the major, which is a big benefit. Their business degree is ACBSP-accredited. They have more degrees.

There is no right answer, everyone is different, but I'd still keep my options open and look at all 3 schools (and probably some CB schools as well).
