Now that TESC costs more, anyone looking into Hodges?

I've seen multiple members getting the pell grant and getting into Hodges free, which means a free Bachelors.

Looks like they accept Straighterline and lenient with credits, so I could practically do everything fast and free with full pell grant. Anyone in Hodges right now?

I was thinking of doing Hodges (Cyber security or CIT) or continue the path to TESC BSBA CIS then Hodges for their masters program for 3k as pell grants don't apply for graduates.


Asking because all the info on hodges is years old.

I think it depends on what the potential student is looking for. The original Per Credit Tuition Plan had only been around for two or three years. Before that, most people wanting to test out would pay a $3,000 enrollment fee under the Enrolled Options Plan. So, I don't think the $2,000 residency waiver fee is going to deter many people who wouldn't have been deterred years earlier.

Hodges sounds like a great option for those who want a competency-based program. They're cheap when you're able to work quickly. If you want to work very slowly, though, then competency-based programs can be a lot more expensive than testing out.
