What are the current costs for the Big 3?
#1
The rules for these programs seems to constantly change.

Does anyone have any figures of the current costs?

Assume one has completed all possible outside classes, and those aren't counted in the cost. What are the total charges someone will have if they are transferring in the maximum number of credits?

Way too many variables here...

An Associate of Art from Charter Oak is less than $5,000 that's a high average and assumes you pay for CLEP tests, sitting fees, study books, etc. If you use ModernStates and get free CLEP vouchers you could get that Associate for a little over $3,000.

Working on a Bachelors in Cyber Security with Charter Oak and my target goal now is: $8,303. That's assuming they accept my CompTIA Certifications and Study.com classes for UL Core. Should know by April 2019. If not, costs could run upwards of $16,000. Still not too bad for a bachelor's degree.

For TESU Bachelor's, assuming maximum use of transfer credit and using the Study.com discount:

Application Fee: $75
Cornerstone: $300 (goes to at least $1098 July 1)
Capstone: $1098
Residency Waiver: $2200
Graduation Fee: $332
------------
Total: $4005

Fees (and the Study.com discount) subject to revision July 1.
NanoDegree: Intro to Self-Driving Cars (2019)
Coursera: Stanford Machine Learning (2019)
TESU: BA in Comp Sci (2016)
TECEP:Env Ethics (2015); TESU PLA:Software Eng, Computer Arch, C++, Advanced C++, Data Struct (2015); TESU Courses:Capstone, Database Mngmnt Sys, Op Sys, Artificial Intel, Discrete Math, Intro to Portfolio Dev, Intro PLA (2014-16); DSST:Anthro, Pers Fin, Astronomy (2014); CLEP:Intro to Soc (2014); Saylor.org:Intro to Computers (2014); CC: 69 units (1980-88)

COSC

Application Fee: $50
Student Services Fee (per term): $284
Technology Fee (per term): $70
Cornerstone: $1,224
Capstone: $1,224
Graduation Fee: $225
------------
Total: $3,077

With a SL 10% discount on tuition & Fees, it would be $2,774

But keep in mind, COSC will be more expensive for courses because they require a lab science and 30cr of UL instead of 18. But a lot of that could be offset by FEMA courses if they still accept them.

Also, COSC requires that you continue paying the SS & Tech fees while enrolled, so you could pay those 2x (or more) depending on how quickly you could do your cornerstone and capstone.

For EC, their discount only applies is you take 12cr through them, so count that out.

COSC

Application Fee: $0
Multi-Source Enrollment Fee (per term): $1,095
Capstone: $1,530
Graduation Fee: $495
------------
Total: $3,120

Like COSC, you're required to take 30cr of UL. Also, for some degrees like the BSBA, you have to take a higher-level math than TESU/COSC (precalc).

Their saving grace though: they will accept some NA credit, and they're better at taking computer certs and giving you more credit that then others.
