Ridiculously Easy Associates Degree - Purdue University Global

[dfrecore]

So, I know this thread is about the Associates, but I’m interested in the BSPr. I’ve been so close to finishing over the past 11 years, and I’m just really tired of thinking about it.

I’m going to make my own degree plan thread today, but I have 70 SHvRA credits and 60 SH of applicable ACE credits. 130 SH total with 34 SH UL credit.

I don’t think I have the time I need to devote to UMPI with work and family obligations. Probably looking at 3 terms and some of their English degree requirements like the internship and working with companies in real time look suspiciously like time suckers that might drag things out longer.

COSC was going to be my next option since I already have the Cornerstone, but I’d need to complete 2 courses with them + semester fee + graduation fee + application fee. And I would need to redo my math class, which I was going to do with UExcel, but honestly ALEKS just about killed me last time and I don’t know if I have another math class in me, I really don’t. The capstone paper on a literary topic doesn’t hold the same appeal to me now that I have a career. Also, I’m ineligible for FA

I don’t necessarily need the degree for my career. I’ve gotten as far as I have in hospitality management with a GED. However, I do see my unfinished Bachelors as a point of shame considering all the time and money I’ve spent on it. I want to finish, and it doesn’t really matter to me what that degree is anymore. I’d honestly do the RBA at Marshall if I could find a cheap way to get that public WV RA credit to meet the residency.

So, reading through this thread has given me a little hope that I can finish the BSPr Leadership relatively painlessly and relatively cheap. I believe I have most or all of the GE completed. Here’s what I have worked out that I need to take/pay so far:

- 8 ASK challenge exams = $800
- 1 Capstone = $2200
- 2 Monthly charges (giving myself a buffer) = $390
Total = $3390 out the door.

The 8 ASK and Capstone should cover the residency requirements. No additional math courses, no foreign language, no application or graduation fees, and no hassle. Get my degree and move on with my life.

Does that sound about right to y’all? I’ve gotten so excited in the past and I’ve been let down so many times, so I need to know I’m looking at this correctly before I devote anymore thought to it.

I'm not sure why you can't just do the BSLS at COSC and pay for the capstone and be done with it?  You normally only need 2 courses, you already have the cornerstone, so the capstone is all that's left.

It would be $1,716.80 with the 10% discount.  That should be faster and cheaper than Purdue for sure.

If you post your credits on here, that would probably be more helpful. I could see if you're <this> close to the COSC BALS/BSLS degree.
