TESU BALS Degree Plan Help

[dfrecore]

The nice thing about Rio Salado that the other schools don't have is rolling starts.  They pretty much start every Monday.  And, with many courses, you can also choose an 8-week or 16-week option.  The other schools are going to have your regular old Semester-based system, with 16-week courses that only start at the beginning of the semester.  I personally would pay more to choose my start date and do an accelerated option.

Now I see the appeal - rolling start dates and course length options are gold.

Yep.  Especially if you have time on your hands, or if you have a block of time available where you could fit in an accelerated course.

Just a personal preference, but 16-week semesters drive me insane.  I lose interest halfway through, and have been known to drop courses MANY times over the years with a regular semester.  I have never dropped a course that was shorter (TESU's 12-week capstone, 8-week accelerated courses, 5-week + weekend intensive courses, etc.).
