Need help developing a plan. CJ

Looking at previous credit is just looking backwards.  You want to look forward.  Make multiple degree plans (UMPI, EC, TESU) and then figure out which one you can complete most quickly and for the least amount of money.

The best way to think about it is this: let's say TESU gives you 60cr for your previous credits, and then you can get another 30cr for your GE for $2,000; but then it's going to cost $8,000 to get your final 24cr done in the AoS.  Then it will be $6,654 for your final 6cr + RW and fees at TESU.  The degree will cost $16,654 to complete.

Now, let's say you only get 30cr from UMPI; but it will be fairly cheap at $2,200 to get your GEC; and then you enroll, and take 3 terms to get your BA in CJ for $4,200.  That is $6,400 to get your degree.

Even though TESU gave you many more credits, the cost to get those AoS credits is a LOT, and so that matters much more than what they brought in.

Kind of why I was wondering if a degree in criminal justice is really needed or if any bachelor's degree would do. The BLS would give them the most credit as they have mostly general electives from the military. They're in good shape for a BLS not so much for a BA in CJ.
