davewill Wrote:Here is my latest BACS spreadsheet. It essentially covers the same info that TrailRunr did, but laid out in a table with costs. There are two main pages, one where you pay the residency waiver and get as many courses from outside TESU as possible, and one where you do TESU's comprehensive plan for one year and earn at least 16 credits at TESU to meet residency. As you can see the costs for both paths are fairly close. The cost of the comprehensive plan is a little overstated since you could use extra TESU courses and TECEPs (as long as you can fit them into the year) to replace some of those outside courses that are labeled $100. The waiver plan does not take the new $2500 residency waiver fee or the Study.com pricing into account.
I'll take the time to update when I get a round tuit.
I think you're way off on costs.
If you do it with the waiver, you're probably going to try to find the Computer Architecture and Operating Systems courses for much cheaper, so it would lower the cost. Let's assume you can find them for $900 each. If you signed up for a month of Study.com, and used it for 2 courses, that would lower the RW to $1800, and get rid of the $300 cornerstone. That would make the plan about $8000.
If you do the other plan (but it's not the Comprehensive Tuition Plan, it's still the Per-Credit Plan but taking 16cr at TESU), then it's about $10,300.
The comprehensive Tuition Plan will be closer to $11,700.
You're still better off with the Per-Credit plan and paying the waiver, especially if you can find cheaper courses, and sign up for Study.com to get the discount and Cornerstone waiver.

... Yes, if you make different choices and assumptions you will get different costs. That's why it's a spreadsheet. I had also said it didn't take the Study.com pricing into account. You are correct that it wasn't the comprehensive plan, I had misremembered.

Thanks all for so much good info, study.com was not there when I did my BSBA so will search the forum for information on how it works specially the cornerstone waiver caught my eye and attention 
@davewill I have your excel sheet and did looked at it before starting this thread, I wanted to get ideas since my situation is for second degree I don't expect your sheet to cater for all combinations what you have there is already a wealth of information and it did give me a good guideline on how to setup the plan.
@dfrecore I did notice the points you raised in the excel sheet that is the reason for my question about sources for getting the credits to get the correct cost analysis.
what about "D. Understanding the Physical and Natural World - 4 credits" I need 1 credit there any suggestions how to fill that one?

Your previous BSBA should give you a waiver for all of the Gen Ed's, so you won't need to worry about any of those. You just need to go straight to the Core and AOS courses.

Email advising and tell them to waive all of your GE due to your previous BSBA. Once your eval has been corrected, no need to worry about GE anymore.
