TESC Per Credit Plan - Residency Requirement

[bricabrac]

Refer to the following charts for tuition costs/fees. Selection the Right Plan and TECEP costs. In the Pay Per Credit Plan column ONLY course pricing* was used (OL/GS/Epack). Even PLA courses are cheaper.


First, do a quick cut and paste into an excel spreadsheet. To allow for capstone courses where required, highlight the 9/12 cr rows for Associate's, and 21/24 cr rows for Bachelor's. Substitute 3/4 and 7/8 TECEP exams accordingly at $102/3cr NJ residents and/or $108/3cr for out of state/International students; you will now see those prices drastically deflate. Last, sum the total costs for all your planned courses: CLEP/DSST, Aleks, SL, Penn Foster, and any other alternate cheap credit you can find. Whoo Hoooo!

Finally, to those extremely ambitious students (you know who you are!), double down. Complete an Associate's and Bachelor's at the same time for one graduation fee. Make sure four out of the eight exams fit both degree plans; need to also meet the residency requirement for the Associate's. Appears easier when using 4 Gen Ed exams and completing the AA or ASBA (no capstone req'd) with your choice of Bachelor's.

Can you see why I'm so excited! :hurray:

I created a quick Pay Per Credit vs Enrolled Options Cost Comparison spreadsheet that can be used for reference. It highlights Approx Base Costs when utilizing the 24cr residency scenario for both in-state and out-of-state/International students. Source: TESC College Catalog 2013-2014.
