Sorry if this has already been discussed... I don't visit the forum as often any more.
I received an email from Thomas Edison about the newly revised Bachelor's to Master's program which allows you to earn 9 credits that will apply to both your Bachelor's and Master's degrees, thus saving more time and money.

Grrr I would be ALL OVER this if it weren't for the required "60 undergraduate credits toward a bachelor's degree at the College."

Yeah, that really is a back breaker. It would be much cheaper to clep / fema / whatever out of the BS / BA and then enroll in the MS / MA program. Don't see this being popular at all.

Poor TESC. They are probably upset that so many people graduate from them without doing many undergrad classes and then fail to convert those students to masters students.
I think they should come onto a site like this and learn how to help people like us achieve our goals while taking advantage of more of their courses.
If they only required 24 credits at TESC I think it would be a much more attractive option. Half of those 24 could be made up of a capstone the three masters courses.
Does anyone know if a person could pay the normal rate for graduate management classes and have those apply to their undergrad and masters?

That's a cool change! They have always allowed you to use 6, but 9 seems pretty great!

TESC is NOT cheaper. I like the double dipping though, especially if you are planning grad school anyway. You can get your 9 credits upper level done and apply them back in. I wouldn't apply to any of the master's programs outright though, they are VERY expensive for what you get.

I was saying it would be cheaper from the perspective of sticking with TESC for your BS and MS to knock the BS out as cheaply as possible and then re-enroll in the MS program. Unless I was being supplemented with employer / government benefits though I wouldn't pursue an MS from TESC in the first place, you're right, way better deals out there that would offer a better ROI.
