Yes, TESU charges about $500 per credit, but that's competitive with most 4-year colleges, especially when you consider that you do NOT have a 15-30-45 credit residency requirement. At TESU, you get to choose how many classes you take with them. I took classes for the express purpose of having graded credit in my major for grad school (granted, it was a bit cheaper when I did it) but don't try and change your career / dream / aspirations to fit into a TESU degree - do the degree in the way that helps you achieve YOUR goals.
I agree. However, the question remains how many is good enough? If you do too many, it could end up being really expensive, and if too little, I you could miss your chance at that school.
With your major, how many graded credits did you take? Were these enough for your master's?
Are you applying to Canisius? My point is that "how many?" is a real number - not my number. Just look up what your target college asks for. I had a LOT of graded credit but that was to meet specific prereqs. Your application process and mine won't be the same.
