You guys are definitely a wealth of knowledge on this, thanks!
I do accounting now and have about 12 years of experience. My goal is an MBA. But for that I want to go the online route with a B&M school. So because of this, I don't necessarily need to have my undergrad in Accounting, as you know any business degree will work. The grad schools I have narrowed down to each have a requirement of the GPA being a 3.0 for the last 60 credits. This creates a bit of a dilemma for me as to which school would work.
I need my Bachelor's fast. I was thinking accounting because that is where I have my experience. My concern over the competency based options were the credits I have could be lost since these schools don't seem to be as generous. I have considered WGU, NAU, UW Flex, and UMPI. I am not interested in Purdue Global or Brandman.
Since I am paying out of pocket, the competency based seems like a good route since I am very motivated to get this done. I have contacted two of the three grad schools about their thoughts on WGU, COSC, and TESU. One has stated they have had a student from WGU and the other hasn't yet responded.
Great tip about the medical terminology credit to make myself active. TESU per-credit fee is very high.
So in terms of overall costs, it seems like the total cost to complete from TESU would be the 6 credits I need to take from them, plus the $3,192 Residency Waiver fee that BJ mentioned, is roughly $6,200?? I arrived at that with the understanding the cost-per-credit is about $500, so $1500 per course. Does this sound correct?
