Joe,

You are counting TESC's own Testing Fees of $75/credit for each TECEP exam taken. This only applies IF you take one of THEIR exams. If you take a CLEP or DANTES exam instead, you can remove $225/exam from your estimated fees and simply pay $70/exam (usually 3 credits each).

$75/credit soon mounts up....but $70/three credits is much more palatable. The more CLEP/DANTES you take...the cheaper your degree will be.

The more full-length (and full price) courses you take (instead of exams), the more your costs will escalate until they are eventually on par with any normal in-the-seat degree you care to find.

Hope that helps,
Snazzlefrag
