My plan is to transfer in 114 credits and just take the cornerstone and capstone for a BSBA - marketing degree. Enjoyed a huge sigh of relief after figuring out the degree plan but reality is I need to start budgeting for the next steps. Thank you, thank you!
The flat-rate tuition at TESU is $4639. If you take 16 credits at TESU, you avoid having to pay the $3192 residency waiver fee which saves you a net of $1667. (Or more if you count study.com savings by taking classes at TESU)
The downside is that it may be a lot of work during that 3 months. (Up to 20hrs per week total)
If your household makes under $60,000 per year, you should consider applying for the Pell Grant to save more.
One option is to do FT Flat-Rate tuition for a term, and then do the cornerstone, a 1cr course, and the capstone online courses in that term, and do 3 courses as e-Pack's (which are similar to TECEP exams - a single exam is 100% of your grade, and it's Pass/Fail, so no hit to your GPA). https://www2.tesu.edu/listallc.php?type=...1571680140. Study for your exams prior to the term, then take them right at the beginning so they don't interfere with your 3 regular courses.
This is probably the easiest way to get 16cr in a single term at TESU - remember, TESU terms are 12weeks, which are similar to quarter-system courses, and normally you only take 3-4 courses in a quarter vs. 5 courses in a semester - to finish in 4 years either way).
Thank you for posting about this option, it really does look interesting. A little intimidating, but interesting :-). In my original plan I wasn't even going to try to take the cornerstone at the same time as the capstone but I know a lot of people really just do it. I imagine motivation and desire to finish ramps up as the end comes in sight.
