I am active duty military but have used up all my tuition assistance. Which school would be the cheapest route? I am guessing TESC since they don't require a capstone course. Any thoughts?
I will graduate with a degree in the Social Sciences: History from Edison in September. Edison does require the 18 On Station units for a Bachelors so be aware. Most schools are 30 so thats a bargain. If you are navy or army you want to take war and american society as part of the deployment or pace program. 6 credit hours. Cheap and fast are two different stories. The tests are no problem but make sure I cant say having a bachelor of science that u need to take the time to get an arts degree. You might consider a masters in public health or Physician assistant, human resources etc, but I think that info there can be a precursor to your start at edison make sure you arent wasting your time.
All the Best
