Big 3 Costs Comparison: Added Brandman & WGU
#1
Since Rachel83az created a wiki page in regards to Associates Degrees, I decided to check up on the fees for a BA...
You can compare the fees below. The link she created is https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/As...'s_Degrees

Let's pretend we need 5 months of Sophia at $79 = $395
Let's also pretend we need 3 months UL Study.com = $600
And you take all the FREE TEEX courses for 10 credits
So, total cost of 90-100 credits would be $995

For COSC only, they require 24 credits RA. Randomly select NMJC at $70/credit = $1680
Depending on the degree and requirements, if all courses are test-out-able, it comes to this.
Complete cost of COSC would be close to/roughly 6 grand, $5834  ($995+$1680+$3159)
For Service Members, it's cheaper at close to/or roughly $4450  ($995+$1680+$1775)

With Excelsior, it's also only slightly more expensive to take an extra 2 classes with them than it is to take just the 7 credits:

$410 x 12 = $4920
$410 x 13 = $5330

$510 x 7 = $3570 + $1095 = $4665

An extra $665 for 6 credits or $225 for 5 credits at Excelsior is cheaper than a lot of self-study options for those difficult-to-find courses (like the history ones).

You are missing some fees ($20/cr for technology fees for each course you take, plus reduction in graduation fee for taking 13cr).  So I show that a BA/BS at EC is $5300 if you bring in 113cr.  If you only bring in 107cr, and take 2 courses there, you pay $5850, a difference of $550.
