TESC vs Excelsior

[snazzlefrag]

I am going for a BA in Psych. and have been going through TESC for about 18 months, but am contemplating switching to EC. I am looking at EC because they seem more liberal about where your non-major courses come from than TESC. That and I would get out of having to take Statistics and a Computer Science. The down side I see to EC is Fees (WOW!). You can spend over $1300 in fees without taking a class (not even counting test fees)
$75 -Application FEE
$765 - Enrollment FEE ($895 for non-military)
$495 - Graduation FEE
$1335

Plus $440 per year while you are enrolled. At least this is how I interpreted their web site. Does this sound crazy to anyone else? Just wondering if there is something I am missing. Thanks

Hi Chuck,

Just an FYI: Statistics is a REQUIREMENT for the Psychology degree at Excelsior. It will count towards your 30 credit minimum for the major though.

As for the fees...it's hard to find any undergrad degree that can be completed for under $20,000 these days (usually it is considerably more than that).

It is a lot of money to pay in fees, but we have to keep reminding ourselves that it is all relative.

Hope that helps,
