The Real "Big 4" is Here!

[sanantone]

These two CC are closer to the original 1971 Big 3 concept (transfer in 100%) than what the Big three are now.....Sorry it's a fact!  I love the Big 3, but these two community colleges are making them look like for-profit colleges. 

Big 3 Capstones, Cornerstones, and $3000 for an AA/AAS/AA is not.

I do not have an AAS BOG but I would if I was starting out and it would be a real B&M college.  I wonder how long it will last?

Best deal in an AAS is from WVNCC/Pierpoint (Transfer in 60/60, and FREE).

Best deal in a BS/BA is the Big 3 (Transfer in 117/120, and about $3500 ish). 

Both are the two best deals in higher education!

If you have zero credits, you have to factor in the cost of RA credits.

I don't know what the Big 3 were charging in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, but I do know that they have been charging fees for a long time. If you want free, that's asking the people in New Jersey and Connecticut to pay more taxes for people who don't even contribute anything to their states. Excelsior isn't tax-supported, so they have to cover operating costs somehow.
