Even EC is cheaper than TESU now? That's unfortunate. TESU's changes are very disappointing.

Yes, between the new cornerstone and the residency waiver, TESU is the most expensive of the Big 3 (both for an AA and BA).

COSC - AA $3,613, BA $6,614
EC - AA $5,020, BA $7,020
TESU - AA $5,632, BA $8,657

This assumes that everyone will be taking all courses for about $100/course, so the only difference between the costs in that respect is an extra $40 for the Study.com lab fee for Bio for COSC (which requires a lab science).  Otherwise, it's and apples-to-apples comparison - so if you take 10 free CLEP's for 1 degree, you could assume that you'd have that same cost savings at the other schools.

All still an excellent bargain for a BA degree - however, that is a big jump in total cost for TESU from even just a year ago.

Edit: Keep in mind of you do take the WGU route and transfer in some credits to complete in one term, they have stricter credit transfer rules. Such as they must all be transferred before enrolling (which is not the same as applying), and they do not take NCCRS credits like the Big3 do  (which are becoming more plentiful, and are often well below the $100 estimate used here - NCCRS prices as low as $9 for a 3 credit courses through OD).  The $100 course estimate is used to compare apples to apples - showing if all other things are equal.

Hell, that’s a bargain even for a two year degree in my area. The cost for an AS at the local CC is closing in on $10,000.00. Education is getting ridiculous, when I graduated high school, that same AS was $5-$6000.00!

At all CC's in CA, the cost is ~$3,000.  So it's not necessarily the cost of education (although that's an issue), but it's the cost IN YOUR AREA/STATE that it can be a problem.  Our 4-yr CSU schools are $7500/yr, so it wouldn't cost much more for 2 years of CC and 2 years at a CSU for a BA here than an AA there.

And if an AA costs that much in your area, you are definitely better off getting one somewhere else.  Or skipping the AA and going straight to a BA.
