For instance, taking 36 credits worth of TECEPs would be ~$1404. While taking 36 credits of the TESU online courses(paying per credit) could be as much as $18,000. So people should weigh their own options and calculate if comprehensive is ideal for their own individual needs.
But, that's not what was being discussed. Someone said that this is a good deal if you have to take certain courses, and it is. Many degree program requirements cannot be completed through alternative sources of credit. If you need an engineering technology degree, CBEs and ACE-approved courses are not going to cut it.
Taking 30 credits per year is the norm.
TESU offers the courses for these programs. You can't test out of several of them.
