Don't they also charge you per credit you transfer in? Cheaper than traditional tuition, but still a hidden cost.

Since the price is so close in the end, I'd lean toward one of the Big 3 or a CBE (Big 3+ ??) for the convenience/piece of mind of an RA degree for any future endeavors.

Supposed to be a $17 fee per approved course. So 24 (72 credit hrs) transferred would be $408 total. I'd prefer a TESU degree at the same total price, but it's going to be more than double.

UoP isn't a bad school, so if that is where you want to go (or that is the limit of your finances), then congrats!

Besides, UoP is working on regional accreditation so they may become RA in a few years. So, assuming you graduate, your degree will effectively become RA after the fact. Once they become RA I don't know that anyone will care that the school was NA when you graduated.

As long as you don't intend to teach or to attend a grad school that requires RA undergrad, it probably won't matter where your degree came from. Very few employers care about a degree other than to verify that it was issued by a legitimate college. The few that do are probably looking for programmatic accreditation (AACSB for example) more than regional accreditation. Foreign employers generally have no idea that there are multiple accreditation systems in the US anyway, or if they do, they don't care. So, it should be fine.
