So, your doing 42 credits locally for $15,000 and then testing out of/transfer in your remaining 78 credits at TESC? If that's so, I would gently suggest you spend some time on the board, browse around, read the archives....and then revisit the idea of spending SO MUCH MONEY on an undergrad degree. Unless it's Ivy League, it ain't Ivy League. Wouldn't you rather spend $15,000 on an MBA? Three years from today you could have your MBA and minimal student loan debt.
If you were 18, I wouldn't say this, but your an adult. There are some pros and cons you should consider. Your time is limited, your financial responsibilities are greater, the return on this investment is limited in how many years you have left to work, but you are smarter than an average 18 year old. You are motivated, and people here will help you. That recipe is just the right mix of pros and cons = undergrad degree at warp speed and focus on the MBA.
No, Jennifer until I found this site I was going to do the 42 credits locally and then the rest through Clep, Dantes, Portfolio, and Fema. I already have 30 credits to start with. This site has now enlightned me. I really like TESC but I need the cost per credit broken down for tuition reimbursement purposes so now I'm leaning a little more toward EC. The only thing is I would like to enroll part time in whatever college that I choose that way I can use loans to pay for cleps and to get tuition reimbursement and I hear EC's online classes are expensive.
