State College vs TESU Price Comparison.

[bluebooger]

Hence the words "rule of thumb". Feel free to get more specific.

yeah, but I expect "rule of thumb." to be maybe 20 or 30% either way
so "$33 per credit is a good rule of thumb." would be $20 or $43 per credit
and I still don't think you're going to find many level IT courses $43 per credit

even if you find an upper level course for $100 per credit that's 3 times more than $33 per credit
I think 300 percent more is hardly rule of thumb

from the OP
"Assuming that he needs to tackle an additional 60 credit hours."
that might be a big assumption
here are the requirements from the University of Central Florida

MAC 1114C College Trigonometry 3 hrs
COP 3223C Introduction to Programming with C 3 hrs
COP 3330 Object Oriented Programming 3 hrs
CGS 2545C Database Concepts 3 hrs
MAD 2104 Foundations of Discrete Math

and those are just the basics

CS Department - Information Technology Requirements

does your son have those yet ?

he many need a lot more than 60 credits

I've heard the "BSBA in Computer Information Systems" get recommended a lot
BSBA Degree in Computer Information Systems at Thomas Edison State University
I have no idea how much it costs
and its actually a "Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in Computer Information Systems"
I don't know if that matters
