UMPI

[ss20ts]

Taking 10 courses at SCD  which will be 2 month will cost you 820$. UMPI cost is 1400$ and there is no guarantee you will finish 10 courses in term. Plus UMPI grade is fully depend on 1 work- final project, assignment or so on. So its debatable which is easier / cheaper TESU + alternative credits or UMPI . Some people will prefer to write 1 Capstone instead of multiple papers with length 12 pages and more for at least 4 months upto 10 months or so..... its a lot to think about here
If u have to complete at least 10 courses at UMPI.most probably u will write at least 120 pages . Lol. Its like writing a book  when u need to write around 25 pages ( if i am not mistaken) for a Capstone at TESU. Plus TESU has more degree options which are not available at UMPI

I have no idea where you're getting 120 pages from! I've completed 12 courses (in 2 terms) at UMPI and haven't written that many pages. The Final Assignment is one of 3 things: a exam, a paper, or a project. Many classes have projects. Some have papers. The papers I have written have ranged from 5-7 to 15-20 pages as the requirement. Many degrees at UMPI do NOT have a capstone. I currently have a 4.0 at UMPI so the Final Assessment being your grade for the course isn't a problem. Many b&m colleges use your final exam as your grade or the midterm and final. I will have completed 16 courses in 3 terms when I graduate in March. UMPI has cost me $4,200. There are no additional fees or textbooks required either. I've already applied for graduation and there wasn't a fee for it. 

Many of the courses folks take at Study require papers. TESU now requires RA credits. Chances are high that you'll be doing some writing in those courses. Writing is a part of college. No getting around it.

I would love get sm Associate degree but options discussed here are not available for international students.i cant pay extra just for Associate degree. So i have not much choice but make a decision between TESU and wait to collect money to pay tuition. Or enroll in UMPI  and pay less but work 15 hours day on courses to finish ASAP for cheaper. Not best position to be in
Plus TESU  changing policies keeps me up at night literally. Will i be able to finish degree at the cost and suitable policies? I would love to get comsci degree. Its mission to choose on so many levels

I don't work 15 hours a day on my courses. Nowhere near that amount of time. I haven't spent 15 hours on the course content on any of my classes. Researching and writing a paper? I have spent that much time on 1 paper. Literally 1 paper. It was the longest one I've had to write. I got an A on it. So that time was spent wisely.
