You can go for the EGCC Associates if you've not got one yet: https://www.egccfreecollege.org/ If you do, the EGCC actually ladders to a Bachelors and it can be inexpensive too! https://www.unionlowcostdegrees.org/ Do you get tuition assistance or reimbursement? It might be worth while to take courses that are "more expensive" using this option.
Have you retired or are you a senior, like 65? Are you a service person/vet? Many colleges provide cheap/free tuition! If you're in a state where credits are cheap like California, you can try taking courses in your own state community college - I think that's where you completed the bulk of your credits. Anyways, since you completed English I at a college, see if it's worth while and comparable in price to complete English II there. Here's the Luna example I mentioned, it's $40/credit, seniors are only $5/credit and whatever their other fees are.
Last but not least, skip TESU for UMPI. Complete your Sophia.org courses for Lower Level and take the English II course at UMPI. If you finish in 3 terms, that's just $4200, it'll be cheaper than TESU's cornerstone/capstone plus the residency waiver. I suggest getting most of your courses at Sophia.org first, as you already have a Language requirement completed. You just need the "minor" and remaining 30 residency credits. That beats taking any of the above courses mentioned and save you cash over TESU! That's the collective power of this board!
Not part of a workplace union, nor do I have access to tuition assistance or reimbursement.
Not retired, nor am I a senior. I did serve in the military, but was discharged with a general rather than an honorable.
When I first decided to continue with my education was back in 2017. I found this forum back then, and a lot of the posts were regarding TESU for the BSBA GM degree. UMPI was not option I remember seeing back then. I am locked into the 2017 catalog, only because i tried and failed to pass the BUS-421 Capstone, this was right before they made it mandatory to take the class.
Jumping from TESU to UMPI is intriguing. I did look at some previous posts regarding UMPI, which left me with some questions.
It seems a person would need to have 30 residency credits at UMPI. Can those units be split between 2 AOS. Example BABA Project Management and a BABA Management and Leadership.
Are there some classes that I have to take at UMPI or can I transfer them in.
Would I need to have all of my non-UMPI courses done before send in my transcripts for an evaluation.
I have included the Academic Evaluation from TESU.
