Question about Thomas Edison's Computer Science degree.

Jay Cross' plans are outdated and useless. You can get a non-CS degree from TESU for around $6k. For something like CS, it will be more, as it's harder to test out.

But, if you wanted to get the CS degree at TESU, but really wanted to learn the course material in the Area of Study (which is probably recommended), then you could do a combination: test out of everything that you can, but take the AOS courses that you need through another program.

Whichever way you go (TESU or somewhere else), it's going to take you time to get through the AOS if you actually want to learn this stuff. TESU just gives you the ability (for this degree in particular) to do the rest of the degree quickly through test-out. Most other schools don't give you this option.

Here is the TESU plan for the BA in CS, but the cost looks high, mostly because I put the UL CS courses as $1000 each. Obviously, if you could get those costs lower, it would lower the cost of the degree by a lot.

For the GE course, plus Free Electives, you're looking at $2600 (or less if you do more courses in a month, or use less expensive options like Saylor), and then of the LL requirements, you're looking at $2000. So if you can find less expensive UL courses, you can get the degree for a pretty decent price.
