Degree Plan for 18 y/o -- Organizational Leadership maybe?

[LevelUP]

@MamaRose, Welcome back, long time no post!  How did it go with your hubby and his educational goal?  Did he go TESU or UMPI, maybe something else? https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...uggestions

Anyway, for your son, my recommendation is similar to what I mentioned previously, decide on the degree/school of choice and work towards the goal with max alternative credit transfer.  In this case, since organizational leadership was mentioned, TAMUC would cost you $1,500/session, if it takes 3 sessions, that'll be $4,500.  

What you want to do is complete the max transfer available using Sophia.org and other alternative credit first, up to 84 credits and take the remaining 36 credits through them. Review threads/posts and the WIKI here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...egree_Plan

Thank you, bjcheung77. I've lurked here long enough to know you always do your homework . My husband decided not to pursue, but I have a daughter about to graduate and another over half way through.

TAMUC was not on my radar, so we will dive down that rabbit hole. (also, i think tuition is now $2000/semester -- still a great deal. https://www.tamuc.edu/cbe/cost/ ).

Latest update to the debate is--would child development fit better with overall goals. Googled a lot of programs and none seem to be quite as budget friendly as any of the business options. SNHU has a child psych degree, but I think (did i read it here somewhere?) it shows up as a degree in psychology. Many of the jobs he has researched specifically say a degree in psych isn't enough (child development or child psych would be, so it's all in the wording). SNHU isn't super cheap either but at least accepts some alternative credits.

Much to think about. His idea, as of tonight, is to sign up for Sophia again and test his resolve.  If he finds himself motivated enough to burn it up, he'll feel confident to go with competency based and more or less self paced coursework. If he finds he needs specific deadlines he'll need to enroll in something with more traditional dates.

And the wildcard -- is business really the best bet. Only he can answer that one.

Most people who do TAMUC live in Texas.

Otherwise, UMPI is the better choice.
