Online graphic arts bachelor's with a solid industry reputation?

That's the main reasons I am choosing TESU over the others, such as COSC and Excelsior.
BTW, I love your TESU video, it's pretty informative and provided a review to backup my choice.

Anyways, I checked the Big 3, Hodges, NAU, Patten, and finally WGU for a comparable program.
The only one available in that list was a program at Hodges. I decided to check it out a bit.
After reading it, I actually will recommend it because of the "Threefold" I look for in a program.

See Links : UPOWER - Self-Paced Learning | Hodges University
Digital Design and Graphics - Bachelor's Degree | Hodges University
Best Online Graphic Design Degrees | AffordableCollegesOnline.org

From reading Hodges benefits tab on their program page, this program is certified by ADDA.
It's the Top Ranked program on a review page, this is good, it's recognized/reputable.
Even though it has two $$ and there are a couple that show $ in the costs, I believe it's best value.

I've seen their videos and am very interested in their MS MIS program.
But I have to quickly finish my TESU BSBA in General Management first.
Hope this helps, Thanks.

PS. I think it maybe the cheapest program in the list if you go the UPower route and finish in 1.5-2 years.
UPower for undergrad is $2500/6 months, grad is $3000/6 months. Discuss it with the hubby.


This is great. And just to add to this one, they do take CLEP, DSST, and ACE-recommended courses (although they probably aren't as generous as the Big 3). My advice before enrolling in a program like this (and shelling out $2500 up front) is to maybe take some CLEP/DSST/SL courses to finish up Gen Ed so that he can prove to himself that he really wants to start and finish this, and then also so that when he's paying the big bucks (relatively speaking), he's taking the "good" courses that he's most interested in, and probably most likely to finish because he's actually enjoying them.
