Best Options at TESU? Residency vs Waiver for Military Dependent.

[Silly_Me]

As a military dependent, I understand that I can get the same pricing as active duty. Is this correct? So, all of my credits are $250 a pop (to include the cornerstone & capstone)? That doesn't sound so bad.

I'm wondering if it's worth trying to accrue the 24 credits for residency. I believe they still allow TECEPS to count towards residency under the Military Degree Completion Program, but I have also heard that TECEPS are horrible. There are a couple that I might not feel intimidated by, but there's no way I could do 24 credits worth of TECEPS.

So... What about spending $250 per credit hour to accumulate those 24 hours for residency? Is that such a bad deal? That's $6000 + books = saving me $2,500 for a residency waiver. Considering I've got quite a few courses I'll need to accumulate for my BA in Biology, I'm thinking this might not be the worst idea in the world.

Thoughts? Thanks!
