Franklin University experiences?

[SCYankee]

Costing more and only taking 90 credits are big downsides, which is probably why Franklin U isn't really mentioned here.

30 credits @ $250 (for current military members) = $7500
30 credits @ $398 (everyone else) = $11940
30 credits @ $526 (international students) = $15780

This doesn't even count the cost of textbooks and other fees that they may charge. After taking that into account, I'm pretty sure that TESU's BSBA Entrepreneurship would be both cheaper and faster. Most (if not all) of their degrees likely have cheaper alternatives at TESU or UMPI. Even SNHU is a bit cheaper at $320/credit.

Doesn't TESU have a 30 credit residency requirement now? If so, that would be the same thing.

No, TESU has a 30cr requirement of RA courses, and 6cr of that will be the cornerstone and capstone.  So you need to bring in 24cr of RA; some people already have that (went to college in the past, or live in a state with "free" community college).  You can also do 8 TECEP exams.  Or ASU/UL courses for $425 each.

If you want to do residency at TESU, you can do 1 16cr term for $4,778.  So if you did 2 15cr terms there, that would be less than 10k, which would be a bit cheaper than Franklin.  But most don't do this.

So, the solution of taking 8 Teceps (or even some Excelsior tests), which is only 24 credits, works because capstone and cornerstone are 3 each, which makes 30 total?

But, do I need to pay the $4k to be able to take Teceps? or how does that work?

I know if I take the TESU route, I have to pay something for enrollment, or maybe residency waiver, just to be able to pay for the cornerstone and capstone. It's all a lot more confusing than just paying for courses elsewhere.
