IIRC, there is only a single CBE degree you can get, and it is just the AS in General Studies or something along those lines. There are VERY limited options for courses, they used to list them all, and there were no computer courses as electives.
Also, I'm not certain where you're getting your pricing, but it was $1898/term before, IIRC. It certainly wasn't anywhere close to $1000.
This was not a great deal for most people, and difficult to finish in a single term (there was a 20cr residency). So it was going to be $4k for most people, which is more than most are paying for an entire degree at UMPI, more than a term at WGU, and similar to the cost of a bachelor's degree at EU or TESU.
I think you're much better off doing the TADA courses that interest you, and then doing all of the Sophia/SDC credits you need for a CompSci degree at TESU or WGU. You can easily get the RA credit needed for TESU by doing a FT/FR 15cr term and doing the remaining work via TECEP exams. Another option is getting a BLS/Mgmt at UMPI and then doing the TESU BACS as a 2nd degree. A bit more expensive, but a good combo to have.
Thank you very much for your answer! Also, thank you VERY much for bringing TADA to my attention. I've read about them but not quite enough. Thank you. Makes sense. /edited: oh they may be only for US resident which I am not, uh.../
I think you are right about the courses. I think that their mentioning of "Computer Science" is just misleading, they have only networking courses.
Completely agree, the website is horrible...
Regarding pricing, that's what the advisor told, she said that Tech Ed is significantly cheaper and is around $1000. I think she implies the Tech scholarship mentioned over there. As I said, don't quote me on that, but that's what I was told on the phone.
Also, for international students (like Canada) it is $3500 plus fees, which sucks. (but maybe Tech Ed pricing overrides international)
I'll try to gather as much information as I can and post there.
