You have options to decide from COSC, EC, TESU, and the competency based degree providers such as Brandman, Purdue, Walden, WGU and more.
The following is going to help you decide if TESU is the one for you, or if other providers will be better, the cheapest one right now is prob COSC/WGU
Just continue taking Sophia and Study.com for now until you have almost all the credits you need to graduate from TESU, but keep that in mind.
1) AOS is the Area of Study, so that means your concentration of 18 credits in a subject area such as Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Management, etc.
2) Sophia and Study.com is the recommended route for Lower and Upper level credits, you just need 12 Upper Level and the Capstone to round out 15 UL.
3) TESU has a residency waiver fee for students who do not take more than 16 credits, it's their most expensive fee, it's like an enrolment fee they had before
4) Basically, You can take 6 credits and pay the residency waiver or take 16 credits and have that waived, the waiver fee is $3192 (Yes, Yikes!)
