Most affordable degree(s)?

[rachel83az]

Yes, the cheapest would be the BA in Liberal Studies at TESU, or perhaps the BA in General Studies from COSC if you work fast.

TESU:
$332 grad fee.
$1800 residency waiver.
$1098 capstone.
$75 app fee.
Possibly 1-2 TECEPs to get enrolled/stay enrolled at $117 each.

And then fill it with a lot of the cheapest credits... SL, Saylor, CLEP through Modern States, Shmoop if you work somewhat fast, and Study.com through the scholarship.

And some people can get free/cheap credits because of military affiliate, living in CA, or using the Pell Grant.

We're almost positive the prices will go up after June 30th, and we aren't sure how much. It's probably possible to keep it under $5k if someone really went for the cheapest credits.

I do intend to hopefully complete the degree before the end of the year, so speed isn't (as much of) a problem, but I'm not sold on Charter Oak just yet. A "university" definitely sounds better than a "college". It does potentially seem to be a less expensive way to go, though. I'll have to think about that, thanks!

Unfortunately, I got some grants/loans for college several years ago and ended up having to drop out due to personal reasons, so I don't think I'm eligible for more Federal money at this time.

Apply for study.com guardian scholarship. So many get accepted. Google search.

I'm pretty sure you can knock out the bulk of a degree with SL and Study.com alone.



Good luck!

BSBA at TESU is usually the fastest. It could probably be done in 6 months to a year.
It all depends on you though. Motivation and time organization will help

That Study.com scholarship is great, I'll definitely be applying for that. And I like the idea of a BSBA better than a generic degree. That could be the way to go.
