AS in Math, opinions please

I was hoping for a way to get the TESU math degree for less than $1000. I still can't remember exactly what I would have to take, but if it were possible to do Calc 1 and 2 for under $400 total, and if I could do three EdX differential equations for under $200, that would be kind of a good deal. I get that TESU could change things up in the next year, but if I've paid the residency waiver and got my capstone out of the way, maybe it wouldn't be so bad to try to sneak in a cheap math degree?

With the TESU option I could do one course at a time. With San Jacinto College, to keep the price at $1500 or less, I would have to do the 3 classes in the same semester.

That said, I'm leaning more towards the San Jac degree. I've taken several 100% online classes with them and am familiar with the process. Plus it's 3 classes versus 5 the other way. :o

The problem with the EdX courses is that they are only transferrable to TESU if you take them when they're live. So, if you can't get the work completed by 7/15, then you missed out on the first course; and then they won't let you take the 2nd one. When they originally did this program, it was 2 years ago (maybe more), so it could be a long time before them come around as live courses again. I don't think you can take these without having taken Calc I & II. So you would certainly be in a time crunch to get those courses completed and then try to catch up to this first course, and ready to move onto the 2nd one right afterwards.

Here's the info from the forum posted just the other day:

Intro to Differential Equations (May 16, 2017) - the only fixed date in this class is the midterm, otherwise you can submit all problem sets and the final anytime up until the end of the course. [B]The deadline to apply for the verified certificate (in order to get ACE credit) is July 15. - runs 9 weeks. (3 credits) $49

[B]Linear Differential Equations (August 1, 2017) - runs 8 weeks. (3 credits) $49

[B]Nonlinear Differential Equations (October 3, 2017) - runs 5 weeks. (3 credits) $49
