Fastest/Easiest School

[dfrecore]

TESU is $6,654 for 6cr there (cornerstone & capstone) unless you do the 16cr term.

EC is actually cheaper now than it used to be - only $4031 for 7cr there (Info Lit, Cornerstone and capstone). You need 30cr of UL for most degrees (only 21cr of UL for the BSB) but the cornerstone will count as will the capstone - so that's 6cr of UL. Then, you just find 24cr of UL, which are easy enough to do via Study.com, Davar, or Coopersmith. Also, EC's BSL allows for 60cr of Free Electives, while TESU's BALS only allows for 30cr.

Either school is a good option, it just depends on what you can bring in.
--------------------------------------------------------

For TESU, you need the following:
English Comp II
Civic Engagement (Am Govt, Western Polit Thought or Comparative Politics)
2 LL AoS courses that are 200-level or above
1 1cr Free elective course in anything
5 UL AoS courses (so liberal arts courses like Psych, Soc, History, etc.)

For EC, you need the following:
English Comp II
6 UL Liberal Arts courses
2 UL Free electives courses

Personally, I would do EC and do some Coopersmith courses since you don't like writing papers.

EC instituted a change that actually made the degree cheaper for non-military; so that will always be my preference (they are $2500 less than TESU); their GE is also much easier to fulfill, there's no RA requirement, and the BLS with it's 60cr of Free Electives is much easier to get if you have a lot of non-liberal arts courses.

For active-duty military, TESU is cheaper than EC, and COSC is cheaper than both (only $1,753).
