Comparing costs of 2 TESU degrees

[bjcheung77]

I just read that TESU estimates their books and materials to be approximately $209 per course. Since I have to take 16 credits, this tacks on an additional $3,344.

Can anyone confirm this?

Now the difference between the 2 degrees is getting more significant, if this is the case!

You're over calculating things, there are so many ways of getting text books on the cheap like renting them or getting an older version. BTW, it's $209 per course as you mentioned, not as you calculated - per credit. But you can still get it cheap, like an international version of the texts. And some don't require a text such as the Liberal Arts capstone doesn't require a textbook.
