Need a plan for an Associates Degree in Criminal Justice (Big 3)

TESU has an AAS in CJ, COSC only has an AA in General Studies, and EC has an AS in CJ.

If you just want the cheapest possible AA, then COSC is your best bet ($2450, 7 courses) - then, you could actually go to APU/AMU and get a BA in CJ with their competency-based Momentum program ($2500/16-week term).

Second is probably EC with the AS in CJ ($4369, 8 courses) - and also then available to go through Momentum to finish.

I think TESU is ok, a bit on the expensive side, but it's an AAS, which I don't think APU will take.  I think you'd have to get an AA in General Studies in addition to the AAS, but it wouldn't cost any additional to do so.

Anyway, the reason I say to finish with APU is because there aren't enough UL CJ courses to complete a BS in CJ at any of the Big 3 that I know of.  So it's your best bet for the bachelor's.
