Another COSC journey

What is your goal?

My goal is to start with AA.

Do you have existing credits?

Ethics by The Institutes, Cyber 101/201 by TEEX, 5 FEMA classes, and about 28 credits by Sophia (I guess only some on them are transferable).
I also graduated with bachelors 10 years ago. My school is in non-English speaking country and course-by-course degree evaluation is going to very painful process. I would just prefer to opt out and start from scratch.

If you finish Sophia, you'll be most of the way to a BA with TESU; especially if you go with a lib. studies degree. An AA (if you are able to get all the Sophia credits in) would cost roughly $2,000. On the other hand, going straight for a BALS at TESU would cost roughly $4,500-5,000 total. If you go AA to BALS then you'd be paying $2,000 plus $4,000+ because the main cost at TESU (again, assuming all Sophia courses are complete) is the capstone + residency waiver. (These costs are not exact figures but are roughly in the right area.)

If you just want a piece of paper to say that you have a degree, you might want to try to get a Pierpont BOG AAS. Right now, this would cost you roughly $400 (4 classes through ASU earned admissions) + about $400 for a 1-credit class at Pierpont so that they'll print a transcript for you. If you don't want/need a transcript and just want something for your wall, it'd just be $400 for the paper. They want a total of 60 credits, but most of those can be satisfied with Sophia.
