TESU - Another change for 2019 - Tuition option

[CarpeDiem8]

My thought is, there must be busy professionals currently taking 10+ credits per term...if not, why would TESU introduce this other than to eliminate the 36 credit model? I can't imagine that TESU would start a new program if it wouldn't already be happening or is in demand. Also makes me think that this may clue in on the weight of the courses as well, since other busy pros can and have been handling 10+ credits per term? Seems to lead me to this conclusion.

Even if one chooses to break it up into 2 terms, it still is a net savings of about $500 or so when compared to just the straight $375 per credit tuition, provided one can take Mass Comm I and II within the same term. If not, then it doesn't work out.

here's an example

Term 1 w/ new tuition discount:
ENG-298 Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice (1)
COM-120: Mass communications I  (3)
COM-121: Mass communications II (3)
COM-100: Communication theory (3)
SOS-110: Critical Information Literacy (3)
13 credits = $3,963

Term 2, pay per credit with Study.com discount:
Liberal Arts Capstone (3) $375 x 3 = $1,125
MAR-321 - Marketing Communications TECEP (3) $75 x 3 = $225 (For AOS)

16 credits (excluding TECEP), so residency fee waived.


Total = $5,313.00.....vs pay per credit, which is $5,850.00
