Online (whether in or out of state) is $132/credit hour. However, there is a scholarship that will bring the cost down to $92/credit hour. $276 for a 3-credit course sounds like a pretty good deal if they have something that you especially want/need!

I agree. Seems that they have a large selection of online courses, available in both synchronous and asynchronous formats. I didn't see any crazy fees or other killers upon a brief review. Might want to investigate this one further.

If this offer is true for this beginning spring I will join and do some courses that I want to do, the only require 15 residency credits with them if you transfer all other course and you get an associate degree.

It sounds very good deal you pay $100/Credit that include $8 fee they charge so you can transfer the RA credits to TESU to finished the Bachelor degree.
RE: waubonsee - rachel83az - 01-20-2021
That's a nice find regarding the Associate's degree. I've sent them a message asking how they feel about SL/SDC/Sophia because $1980 is potentially one of the cheapest ways to get an Associate's degree if they accept alt credit like that.

They do take some alt credit but that doesn't mean that they take SDC/SL/Sophia. I'm still waiting for a response.
Still, it looks like they accept the same CLEP exams as TESU. At the very least, it looks like one could potentially take 15 CLEP exams (assuming that there is an open CLEP testing location nearby) and receive an Associate's degree that way.

If they don't mention ACE specifically, they normally don't accept it; second is if they list it under military credit - and with the common scenario listed there, they will give you a minimal number of credits (normally documented on the JST as ACE credit). My guess is they don't accept ACE, and may not even know what that is.
