Love this!!!!!!!

Thanks, Yup, I love that info. TESU and Excelsior seems to be picking up steam for all types of students.
COSC is making a bit of headway too, but hardly any. I wonder what things will look like in a few years.
I remember back in the day, like a decade ago, Excelsior used to be the cheapest of the three options.
Times have changed and it keeps swaying back and forth due to price increases and "other fees" added.

No, but this guy can. Total cost for him, it seems, was $3,035.
Then again, he also had to finish an entire program in 6 months.

I can't tell the cost, but it looks like at WGU?
I like it.

Yep.
I want to see if I can spend about the same on a WGU Master's degree - for science! Actually, for the credentials, but also for science.
I just want to know what kind of black magic he or she did to manage that many credits in one term. That's like 7 classes a month, including UL classes with projects.

If only I could do the same with my master's degree but I don't think I can manage to do it in one semester.
