Patten VS WGU Tuition

[mednat]

That is another issue, kinda of torn on which one to choose, I hear better things about WGU and their is more feedback on them. So I have a better understanding of what to expect from them. And as long as WGU doesn't expect a lump sum upfront payment should not be an issue.

So I am leaning towards WGU, but I will not fully settle on it until I am completely done with my BSBA.

WGU offers financial aid, while Patten does not. I have no experience with Patten's course work. I don't particularly like WGU's grading any pass as a 3.0, but this may not matter to most. I'm not sure of the discounts Patten offers, but at $520 a month that brings tuition to $3120 for 6 months. WGU costs $3,250 per term. I wouldn't let a difference in tuition this small effect my decision. Even with the interest of a student loan for the 6 months (if you financed with student loan then paid equal payments monthly), it would be negligible. In the end I would choose the school I felt fit my situation the best. I had considered patten before choosing WGU. For me, it was basically a coin flip decision.
