What do you think about Peirce College?

[RaiponceRapunzel]

I would be surprised to see someone complete a degree from them considering the costs. Many people prefer to save money. Some want the word university on thier diploma. For TESU you will need RA credits which Sophia credits are not.

The $600 per credit hour in tuition plus the fees does cost a lot. But hypothetically if I maxed the number of credits I can transfer in for a Business degree (90 credit hours), the overall cost is around $11-12K maybe less if there’s certificates students can earn. Compared to average cost of uni these days, this is a deal. 

The only thing I’m worried about is Peirce College’s merger with Lackawanna College. Does this merger change Peirce College’s transfer policy? I asked someone after I got a call from Lackawanna College’s admissions office. They didn’t have an answer and didn’t want to give the wrong info. But they did make note of my question to ask one of the directors.

I mean so far, they seem friendly and they reached out to me after I sent an inquiry to admissions. I have a 30 minute meeting next week with admissions. Hopefully, they can help me with the transfer credits part and what will happen after the merger.

Update to the above. I signed up to attend their virtual open house next week too. I’m still in the researching phase. I haven’t fully committed to college hacking yet,
