need help with degree planning for son for Bachelor's in Business Admin or Finance
#14
Not sure where the costs were found, but the EC tuition info is wrong:

Excelsior
Application fee: $0 (if you're using a partner like Study.com or Sophia)
Tuition: $510/cr x 7cr = $3,570
Technology fees: $20/cr x 7cr = $140
Student Services fees $28/cr x 7cr = $196
Graduation fee: $125
Total: $4,031

TESU
Application fee: $50
Tuition: $519 x 6cr = $3,114
Residency Waiver = $3,192
Graduation fee $298
Total for Per-Credit tuition $6,654
Total: $4359

TESU also has a per-term fee, but it will require more courses at TESU (16cr) in a single term; I would say that you need to be a fairly strong student to pull this off.

------------------------------------

I normally like EC over TESU for a general business degree, but for the Finance concentration, EC has very specific courses you must take. So, I think you would be required to take at least another 9cr at EC, with the remaining Finance electives available from Study.com. While that would get you a lower price for tuition, bumping you up past 12cr, it would still be offset by the increase:

Excelsior - Finance concentration
Application fee: $0 (if you're using a partner like Study.com or Sophia)
Tuition: $410/cr x 16cr = $6,560
Technology fees: $20/cr x 16cr = $320
Student Services fees $28/cr x 16cr = $448
Graduation fee: $125
Total: $7,453

With that price, it becomes a better option to go through TESU, whether the per-credit or per-term, doesn't matter, as both are cheaper.

TESU will also take D grades for GE except English, so with the 28cr you're bringing in, you'll hit the 30cr of RA and so no additional hoops to jump.
------------------------------------
So, your real options, at this point, are between TESU which can be done easily via alt-credit, and gives you the Finance concentration that you want; and UMPI, which will be cheaper, but will not get you the concentration.

You'd also have to decide between "regular" credit-earning vs. CBE, which can be challenging for some students.
