Goal: BA or BS in CS or IT

[MrPanda]

TESU only has 2 tuition rates: tuition for students in New Jersey and tuition for students not in New Jersey. For you, an approximate cost breakdown would be as follows:

$1557 for TESU's capstone
$3192 for the residency waiver
Approximately $1000 for 10 courses @ Study.com (can potentially be as low as $810 by taking as many courses as allowed during a month)
$150 for the Network Technology TECEP exam
------------
Total: $5600

OR you could do the following:

$4639 to take 16 credits in a single term: capstone, CIS-107 ePack, Software Engineering, COS-111 Introduction to Programming, COS-240 Operating Systems, PLA-100
NO residency waiver
6-ish courses at Study.com: $600 for 3 months. As low as $540 if split over 2 months instead.
No need for Network Technology TECEP
--------
$5300

Not a huge savings, as far as money goes. And the 16-credit-term isn't exactly easy. But it also saves you from having to deal with the Network Technology TECEP - the TECEP is notoriously difficult to pass.

Hello Rachel83az, thanks for your plans, I have one question, why in one of the plans TECEP is necessary, but not in the other? I don´t see the networking component in the 2nd option.

Thanks for your time.
