Looking at applying to TESU

[SkaroFamily]

I would always apply sooner rather than later, as knowing where you stand at each school is important to find out.  Then, you need to figure out what it will take to COMPLETE your degree at each school.  Knowing that they will take X amount of credits is helpful, but it's MORE helpful to know what's remaining, and how long that will take/much it will cost to finish.

I would not ENROLL anywhere until you decide where you're going to go.  But that's a different process than just applying.

I would apply at COSC as well as TESU, I think you may come out ahead, certainly in terms of cost.

Just did a quick look at both schools:

First, I'm guessing Technical Math will not work for either school's Math requirement, so you'll probably need to take College Algebra/Applied math for either one.

Second, COSC will be cheaper.

Here's the quick breakdown (assuming $100/course for everything except corner/capstone):

TESU
1) you need 8 courses to bring in for $800
Math
Am Govt/Comp Politics
5 UL BALS courses
1 Free Elective course

2) Cornerstone & Capstone, tuition & fees $5422

3) TOTAL COST TO COMPLETE A BALS DEGREE AT TESU: $6222


COSC
1) you need 10 courses to bring in for $1000
Math
UL US History/Govt
5 UL BALS courses in your concentration (recommend Psych)
3 UL courses in anything including business

2) Cornerstone & Capstone, tuition & fees $2849

3) TOTAL COST TO COMPLETE A BSLS DEGREE AT COSC: $3849

I did apply to COSC and they took the math but not the Public Speaking class. I tried switching to the general studies degree and my adviser literally told me I couldn't, I was going to try again later. ( I still need to try and switch)
