Need a plan for an Associates Degree in Criminal Justice (Big 3)

[Gojira5400]

TESU has an AAS in CJ, COSC only has an AA in General Studies, and EC has an AS in CJ.

If you just want the cheapest possible AA, then COSC is your best bet ($2450, 7 courses) - then, you could actually go to APU/AMU and get a BA in CJ with their competency-based Momentum program ($2500/16-week term).

Second is probably EC with the AS in CJ ($4369, 8 courses) - and also then available to go through Momentum to finish.

I think TESU is ok, a bit on the expensive side, but it's an AAS, which I don't think APU will take.  I think you'd have to get an AA in General Studies in addition to the AAS, but it wouldn't cost any additional to do so.

Anyway, the reason I say to finish with APU is because there aren't enough UL CJ courses to complete a BS in CJ at any of the Big 3 that I know of.  So it's your best bet for the bachelor's.

Thanks for information, after looking into the AAS it seems like you said it's not transferableand probably want to stay away from that. Personally I've never even heard of an AAS, just an AA or AS. Also sorry but I don't know what APU or AMU are, I'm guessing universities? Are you saying that I could get my AA from COSC and transfer into one of them though? Given the credits I have now how long do you think it would take to get an AA from COSC? And after that if I were to transfer into APU or AMU for the BS in CJ how long would that take? I'm guessing the competency momentum program is like CLEP as well? I'm sorry for the long list of questions but like I said time is the biggest factor for me in getting this done above money. It doesn't really matter which college it's from and like I said I don't really have a preference, the quickest would be the best. Seriously though thanks for all of your information, it's been very helpful!
