e) TESC master's degrees are expensive- so once you start, be sure you've got enough cash/loans to pay for the rest of the classes and books
Interesting, so is there a difference in price between undergraduate & graduate PLA? This is where I could see using this. I was already looking at trying to get PLA credits for a number of 400 & 500 level courses. If I could get both undergrad & graduate credit, that would be awesome!

I'm not sure that TESC awards graduate PLA credit? Are you sure? I have to admit though, I don't know a ton about their graduate options.

I just came across this on TESC's website:
"Graduate PLA
Students enrolled in a Thomas Edison State College graduate degree may apply to earn PLA portfolio credit for any course required by the degree. Portfolio assessment opportunities for Thomas Edison State College courses will be based on the stated learning outcomes. For other approved electives, matriculated students may present course descriptions from graduate courses offered at other regionally accredited colleges or universities as a basis for earning credit through Prior Learning Assessment subject to the dean’s approval. This policy may be limited by external accrediting bodies or by the nature of the course. Not all graduate degree programs will accept PLA credit. Please check with the college academic dean regarding whether that degree program accepts PLA credit.
Graduate PLA Course Proposal Forms can be found on the Student Forms page and must be sent directly to the dean's office for approval."

Nothing I saw indicated a difference in price though. I'm really interested though!
