Close to Finishing Traditional College but...
#11
Thanks again for your help cookderosa
Assuming I pass this semester I will only need to take these two classes in summer and fall.

Your degree eval was also helpful. The only problem with TESC is the upfront cost. I have about
1,000 saved now. I could work over the summer but I guess I would need to apply and enroll
at TESC before July 1, 2012. This is when the capstone will be required.

Ok, so taking that into account, my suggestion is to finish at your current school. You're soooo close, and you would likely finish up at TESC the same time- so it isn't a time saver. Cost-wise, I don't know.

I tend to agree. Besides, as much as we say it doesn't matter, I'm sorry but Georgia State is far better known than any of the Big 3. Even though the degrees from the Big 3 are 100% legitimate and fully-accredited, there is zero chance of questioning that one.

If I had the time I would simply use my tuition assistance to get a degree online from a well-known state school with a great program. But I don't have the luxury of time, and TESC is a perfectly good school that gives me the flexibility I need. If you are that close, hell, just do it.

Of course, with 170 or whatever credits from Georgia State, I really do not want to be on the receiving end of your student loan... :ack:

Has anyone verified that the capstone will be required for students enrolling after July 1, 2012?
