I’ve already got some of the classes for cs done. I was doing bsba cis originally and a lot of the classes transfer over it seems. I also have quite a bit of experience with Java and python so knocking out some classes like intro to programming should be a breeze.
If I recall correctly, you're still active as a service person right Zach? If that's the case, it's only an extra $750 for the capstone.
You'll just have to do a few more Study.com courses for the CS and remaining UL requirements.
So, end result, BSBA Accounting and BA Comp Sci. Tuition: https://www.tesu.edu/military/tuition-fees
You've got it good. That's so much better than what I am going to be paying for an extra BACS degree:
Capstone $1125
Residency $2200
Grad fee: $332
12 courses: $779
BACS Requirements and AOS Total: $4436
I’ve been under the impression that it’s better for me to not use my service benefits, because even though the tuition is cheaper, the residency waiver will cost more. Not sure if this is true but that’s what staff at TESU have told me.
My understanding is that under the military discount you pay a lot less per credit ($250/cr), which means you'd be paying $750 per 3-credit course instead of the full price or $1125/$1089 via SDC discount. However, you also pay full price for the residency waiver (which is $2500 if you're not in-state vs. $2200 for in-state, or if you use the SDC discount). So, you may pay $300 extra in residency fees but you will also be saving $375 over the SDC discount on every 3-credit course you take.
It sounds like you only have the capstone left, so your overall costs will not be that different (you save $75 by using the military discount) but if you still had the cornerstone to take, you'd have saved $450 over the SDC discount.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
