California National University...?

Why is tuition so expensive for this DETC accredited (non-ABET) school?

$38K for a degree with limited transferability, with rather harsh tuition financing options....

Are the textbooks made of gold or something?

Sorta in the ballpark with Grantham (if you don't have military funds paying), but at least Grantham has easy payment terms and is trying to get RA accreditation.

:frown:

 

Dont go to this school. They are making fun of education.

 

I'm definitely not arguing, just curious: why do you make that statement?

I really like the curriculum, but I choke big time at the cost of this non RA or ABET degree program.

If wasn't so expensive, I would probably enroll.

 

It's $300/credit? I guess that's expensive for an NA, non-ABET engineering degree, but compared to University of North Dakota's ABET accredited degrees, it's cheap. UND is something like $850/credit for out-of-state residents. I would still rather pay the UND prices because a non-ABET engineering degree is essentially useless in the field. I don't think you'd be able to get a job or get into a graduate program, so unless it's just for knowledge and personal satisfaction, I'd stay away from it.

When it comes to engineering, you just have to accept that you'll probably need to go to a state university, otherwise it just doesn't make sense. Even UND, which is mostly online, requires summer visits for the vast amount of lab work that is required of an ABET/EAC degree.

 

My respects to you for working to improve your education and eployement potential. You are talking about a bachelor's degree, right? $300 seems really expensive for any DETC school; is this some sort of elite DETC engineering school? I'm not familiar with this one.

I would suggest that you earn a bachelor's degree at a state school. You could probably find a degree program online that offers what you are looking for. Try SUNY, the New York state school system. They have extensive offerings in bachelors and master's degrees and the tuition is only $207 a unit. This is a state school that is regionally accredited, why would you pay more and get less?

I agree that ABET accredited program is what you should be looking for.

But if for some reason you want a DETC accredited degree then you may want to look at World College.

Online Bachelor's Degree in Computer Information Systems and Electronic Engineering Technology

The degrees are broken down into 12 month semesters. During each of these semesters you'll have a minimum number of lessons to complete, but no maximum!

Tuition for each 12 month semester is $2,452.

There are no additional charges for extra lessons or labs completed during a given semester.

How much will it cost you to earn your Bachelor's Degree?

If you complete all the lessons and labs in 12 months, your Bachelor's degree will cost you $2,452. If it takes you 24 months, your tuition will cost $4,904, and so on. Who decides how much you pay for your Bachelor's Degree? You do!

 

There are so many RA public school options out there. I dont understand why somebody should go to a expensive DETC school?

 

Yes, I agree. I was trying to give the benefit of the doubt in this case. Nothing wrong with DETC, however.
