Associates Degree - Cheaper / Easier of the Big 3?

[NAP]

For an AS or AA in Liberal Arts at Excelsior, you are not required to take any classes through them. All of the credits can be transferred from other sources. All of the credits can be earned through tests. (The capstone for a bachelor's degree is the only course that is required.)

Assuming that you will transfer Info Lit and other courses/exams, it is $895 for the enrollment fee and $495 for the graduation fee for civilians (a little less for members of the military) at EC.

The Multi-source enrollment fee means that no courses are required.

There is also a non-credit, no cost orientation course that is required when you enroll.

If you are planning to go on for a bachelor's degree, it is probably best to choose the same school (out of the Big 3 options) for that degree. The associate degree will fit better by meeting all of the General Education requirements for the bachelor's degree, too.
