Completed Final Class - East Texas A&M / TAMUC

[ATM925]

Well, it took a little longer than expected, but I completed my final courses for my BAAS in Occupational Safety and Health last week.  The term ends on 2/28, and I will graduate in May, but I am done!  Thank you all who guided the way.  I started college in 2002 and left in 2004 and had 12 credits... I found this site in 2022 and decided it was time to finish my degree. It took me a while to get started, but this past year, I worked through a lot of Sophia courses, and between my 12 from the early 2000s and 66 from Sophia, I was able to transfer 78 into TAMUC/ East Texas A&M and completed 42 credits as outlined below:

So, I was able to finish in less than 1 year after transferring 78 credits.  The cost was $3,000 ($750 per term).  It is my understanding that the cost is now $1000 per term, but since I started when it was $750, I was grandfathered in at that term price.  Overall, it felt like a good value, and I am happy with the result.  Now, I am looking into graduate programs.

For anyone on the fence, just start... there's no time like the present!
