Yes, COSC is certainly cheaper than TESC and on par with ECE (spot the affordability trend in evaluating colleges).
It appears from information here that COSC may accept as many or fewer ALEKS courses than EC. So, again the credit/cost factor becomes important.
I've read and tried to digest just about all the material available for all three of these colleges. At a push, EC and COSC cost roughly the same but of course COSC sounds far more plausible an educational institution. TESC also has a reasonable name, accepts more ALEKS credit but costs more to enroll and graduate.
My wife's Chinese and essentially did distance-learning through a partner college in China before she came to the UK to do her first post-grad. She thinks it's funny that I may end up with credit from her Alma Mater
Get the credit first, get the degree ready, then think about what to do next
