ANY Degree

[dfrecore]

Better to do MCA and then transfer to COSC, or even MCA and then do a final semester at Snow College.  COSC will be $1717 for 3cr; Snow will be $1743 for 1 term of 20cr.  Both take ACE; Snow does not require RA credits to be transferred in.

Snow's prices have gone up. If you're not in Utah, it's ~$6k for one term. I think if you're in the western block (CA, OR, AZ, WA, etc.) then prices are 1.5x Utah prices but that is not entirely clear.

It's still the in-state price for US students with a scholarship they offer (and I've been led to believe it's given pretty freely at this time).

My 14 yo twins will be getting their BS in Liberal Studies from Excelsior College.  They have already earned 66 ACE credits and will have their degree when they are 16 or 17 depending on how fast we proceed.  Excelsior allows young students to apply and everything can be transferred in except the 7 credits required to be taken at the college.  Our credits are mostly Study and Sophia so far and we will be starting Coopersmith soon. You can also have a concentration that will be listed on the transcript. From others I have spoken to, EC is very cooperative in their communication. Something to consider.

EC is 3x the price for COSC, which is a LOT of money for an AA.  EC has a capstone for all degrees including their AA's, which I think is more than you need to do.  A cornerstone is plenty, a capstone is just asking too much IMO.  $5300 for an EC AA, same exact price as a BA.  Not worth it IMO.  If you want to ladder up to the BA, you have to take another capstone. Ugh, no thank you.

But they are a great option for a BA IMO. Especially for their BALA/BSLA, so much more flexibility there, and the 2 Area of Focus' that are allowed are awesome.
