Free for Texans, $1000 for Non-Texans 6-hour class bundle at East Texas A&M

(12-10-2024, 01:16 PM)LuckyLion44 Wrote: Important update to this post: This offer now appears to be free only for Texas residents as determined per in-state tuition rules. Out-of-state students appear to be charged $1,000 for the two-course bundle. For the most recent updates, see the most recent pages of this thread.

"Take advantage of two free competency-based graduate courses designed to help you master key skills at your own pace. Begin by choosing one of three exciting bundles based on your career goals." (These classes award graduate-level credit hours)"

These classes are not currently part of any degree program at East Texas A&M University...yet. So, you may be able to use them as an elective somewhere or even at ET A&M if the program you are in will allow it. Who knows what new programs are comign down the pike...

To take advantage of these classes, you can use the Quick App to apply without a fee. (this link is also on the website if you would rather not click it here for security purposes)

-- these are online courses, so new international students would likely not be able to do these unless here on a resident visa or something like that.

Classes start on Jan 13! Give yourself enough time to become admitted.

Some concrete updates on this:
-The term for competency based classes is truly that short time frame listed above and the class is self paced.
-The term costs $1,000 each for Texas residents and $2,000 for out of state residents; the program is awarding a $1,000 discount to all registered students in these early courses for this term only. So it ends up being free for Texas folks and $1,000 for others. I told the school its not on the website and they are going to add it. 
-These classes belong to new programs that have been sent to the state for approval to be offered in Fall 2025 but they have not been formally approved or announced at this time. The entire program would be self paced and paid by the term like WGU's model sort of.
