OP - Are you working? Do you have tuition assistance or reimbursement? If you're paying out of pocket, the cheapest, easiest, fastest option would be the UMPI BA History.  It's competency based, so it all depends on how fast you can complete the courses, if you finish the 10 courses or so in two terms, your degree will cost $5400, you can transfer in 90 credits from ACE sources such as Sophia.org/Study.com

2 terms at UMPI costs $2800. Not sure where that $5400 comes from. It's $1400 per term at UMPI.

Oh snap! You're correct, I was thinking about my Walden program and if I finish, it'll cost $5400. For UMPI, two terms would be $2800. An amazing price for a "generic" BA History. I don't think there are too much of a difference between each "History" degree as there are so many "courses that can be chosen/selected from". The undergraduate degrees aren't really something that would put too much focus on, it's when you get to the Masters where you go into a more specific subject area. Get your Bachelors and focus on the Masters...

Hi. Compare https://www.snhu.edu/admission/academic-.../VkNsQEIYx to https://tesu.smartcatalogiq.com/Current/...in-History

SNHU has 6 required "history" classes: US History 1 & 2, World Civilization 1 & 2, Making History (I assume this is like Historiography), and Capstone. It then has 6 history elective slots (which include your concentration), 12 free elective and 13 general elective slots.

TESU has 7 required "history" classes: US History 1 & 2, World Civilization or Western Civ 1 & 2, The Middle East, Historical Methods (again, I assume this is like Historiography) and Capstone. It then has 4 history elective slots (there is no concentration), 4 humanities elective slots and 10 free elective slots.

If your goal is to take all the classes at one college, go ahead. This forum is really focused on alternate sources of credit, instead of sticking with a single college for the entire degree. But there are absolutely ways to fit many US History classes into a TESU plan.

This is what I would do too, compare the courses required and what alternative electives you have for the degree, you might want to add the UMPI and see what options are available for that degree as well. For the cost, ease, speed - SNHU is probably not the way to go, I would select UMPI over that. But for TESU, you might have more flexibility at a cost... decisions decisions...
