Initial Questions About BA History (T

[historicalarsonist]

Flat tution: (4k in state, 5k out of state) I don't think you can use the study.com discount here.


If you were only to do 6 credits (SOS-110 and capstone)
It would be 2200 if you got the study.com discount for 6 credits. And then 2800 for the residency waiver. That adds up to 5k.

Note that none of these numbers count any aid you could get. If you got the Pell grant alongside the 16 credits it would make it even cheaper. The Pell gives you more money if you take more credits. Also you could apply TESU scholarships since you a full time TESU student.

As you can see it is the same cost. But if you decided to take 9 credits at TESU then might as well take 16 because it is cheaper at that point. Plus if you are doing 16 credits at once you are saving the money it would have cost to get those credits from other sources. For history it makes sense since you have to take historical methods any way so doing the 16 credits would for sure save money.

Have you given any thought as to what TESU courses you tare taking? If you want to make things easier choose guided study or e-pack courses because they provided more flexibility. E-packs are more self paced.

TESU also charges $50 application fee and a $300 graduation fee to be paid when you graduate no matter what plan choose. Note that it does include a cap and gown and and the chance to go to commencement in NJ if you'd like.

So let me clarify to make sure I understand: the residency requirement only exists for students who decide to pay per-credit tuition for the term (presumably because they only need a few credits, and paying per credit would be cheaper). Students who pay flat-rate tuition for the term are not required to pay a residency requirement waiver.

So that brings me to the flat-rate out of state tuition of $4,928. Add the graduation fee of $300 and the application fee of $50, and the total has now reached $5,278.

Are there any other expenses I'm not considering? I could have sworn that I read that there were additional fees associated with the capstone, for example.
