Big 3 graduation help...

Hello all,

I need some help on graduation costs from the Big 3. I am working with one of our employees in the business office who has 110 credits from 2 schools and is enrolling in another school in January. (The employee does not want to do online learning).

I have told her about putting 120 credits together from the three schools and she's excited.

I have been looking around the websites for the Big 3 - and I can't seem to find the info that I need:

If a student has 120 credits (assuming they all fit) what is the total cost to earn a degree from your school (Admissions, Evaluation, Graduation).

Thanks in advance!

I can only speak to Excelsior, however the fees for TESC are clearly listed on their website. Not sure about COSC, but I believe it falls somewhere between Excelsior and TESC in price, with TESC being at the high end, but more liberal in what they will accept in transfer. For example, for many degree programs at TESC, one does not need to complete any upper level courses!

Excelsior Fee breakdown:

Application: $75
Enrollment Fee: $995
Graduation Fee: $495
Total: $1565

That's it. Of course, your friend will need to factor in ordering transcripts from all of the schools that she has attended in the past. But that shouldn't be too expensive.

 

Enrollment fee - that's what I am looking for! Thanks!

After the first year there is an annual student fee of $440.

This publication states enrollment fee is $895 but perhaps site is out of date.
