TESU cost verification - texuinquiry - 02-01-2020
Hello all. After reading some of the comments, it seems TESU might be the better way for me personally... I don't understand the AACSB or ACBSP implications as much as I would like, other than reading the links providing....
On my previous thread it was stated that TESU would be around $7800 ... but another poster
said TESU would be around $5400 (app fee, cornerstone, capstone, residency waiver and grad fee.
Is there a itemized list anywhere on the actual final costs for TESU would be?

IF you already have all credits: (and non-resident)
TESU:
application = 50
6 credits (3 cap + 3 corner) x 509 OR 379 (SDC discount) = 3054 OR 2274
graduation = 298
residency waiver (not enough TESU credits) = 2800
transcript = 15
total = 6217 / 5437
Excluding cost of the 114 credits to transfer in, late fees, extra courses, changes, ....

https://www.tesu.edu/tuition/per-credit
Flat Rate Tuition might be cheaper IF you can take all those courses at once and dodge the reidency waiver, but it might be too much.
For the 114 credits, you may have existing credits (already paid for), gain some free credits (let's assume ethics, and some electives = 12 total), the cost of the other credits depend on the provider.
COSC:
admission = 50
tech fee = 75
student services = 295
6 credits (3 corner + 3 cap) x 419 = 2514
graduation = 225
total = 3159
Also excluding cost of the 114 credits to transfer in, late fees, extra courses, changes, ....

RE: TESU cost verification - dfrecore - 02-01-2020
The person that said it's $7500 was probably talking about the general cost of getting a degree starting from zero credits. If you pay roughly $100/course, that should be your cost. Obviously if you take more free or cheaper courses, then that cost will go down - it's kind of the max price for a BALS or BSBA.
The person that said it was $5400 was just talking about the amount you'll pay TESU directly, and assumes you're bringing in 114cr, including a study.com course to get the discount for the cornerstone and capstone.

Unless you want to teach (or possibly finish a DBA ) at a more traditional/elite school, essentially no one outside of academia cares about this or even really knows about it. Maybe some huge consulting firms or more prestigious and elite corporations, but they would be the types that would look down on your for not having an ivy league pedigree, so AACSB or ACBSP or IACBE is all moot at this point anyway.

It is still all very confusing. I have zero credit. I thought there was a method of "testing out" and incurring the cost of test fees plus TESU fees. But some are referring to courses which I just don't follow. Is there any way to get a cost projection?.

So for TESU, it's about $3000 for 114cr, and then $5400 to TESU for a total of $7400ish.
RE: TESU cost verification - lacussucceed - 02-04-2020
Most use CLEP/DSST/TECEP (which are all tests to test out) and (online, self paced) courses by providers (these also can be used to test out, some people already have tons of experience and skip the course content, head straight for the exam and sometimes the assignments).

there are two courses you must take : the cornerstone and the capstone
that's a total of 6 credits (3 cap + 3 corner)
each credit is 509 for a total of 3054
but you can get a study.com discount where each credit is 379 for a total of 2274
but then you still have to take 114 credits for the degree
you can test out of some using CLEP, DSST, Excelsior exams and study.com (these will be around $100 per 3 credits -- each exam is usually 3 credits and each exam is about $100)
but some things don't have exams -- like if they make you take "History of Mathematics" -- pretty sure there is no exam for that anywhere -- so you'd have to do a course at TESU or a community college or somewhere and transfer it on
so the totals that lacussucceed posted were the totals not including the 114 credits
the totals only included the base fees, the corner stone and capstone and "normal" fees
