Starting This Journey

[rachel83az]

For active duty military and their families, TESU offers a reduced tuition rate of $250/credit: https://www.tesu.edu/military Unlike civilians, you also earn residency credit by taking TECEPs (exams for college credit): https://www.tesu.edu/admissions/faqs-cre...-residency

Each TECEP costs $50/credit for LL and $75/credit for UL. We generally recommend the LL ones because the UL ones can be brutal. But it depends on what degree you're going for. There is a list of TECEPs here: https://www2.tesu.edu/listalltecep.php So, for about $1200 for the TECEPs + $1500 for the capstone/cornerstone (plus the cost of credits at Sophia, SDC, etc.), you'll have a degree.

Do you really want Lib Arts or are you looking into that solely because you think it might be the cheapest option? If you really do want Liberal Arts, that's fine. But there are other options that are roughly the same price. Degree requirements for the various TESU degrees can be found here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...ts_Roadmap

Let us know:
1. Your degree choice (if you really do want Lib Arts, are you looking for a concentration?)
2. Which TECEPs look the easiest to you.
3. Are there any areas where you feel especially weak, academically? For instance, some people would prefer to avoid math as much as possible. Some people prefer to avoid essays. Some prefer to avoid exams. (If you prefer essays and hate exams, UMPI would possibly be a better choice than TESU.)
