Hi All, I have been reading this site with great interest recently and would like to pose a question to the group. Lets say that there is a person with a high school deploma NO college credits, and for the sake of argument, nothing that he could be given life experience credit for. However, they are extremely proficent at studying and passing tests. What would be the total cost of the least expensive RA bachelors they could get? I'm assuming the person would probably using the testing route with one of the big three, but what is the minimum that that would cost? I already have my Bachelors, but was interested in finding the answer to this question for other reasons. Jon
I have not got a figure for you but I suspect it would be a degree from Excelsior. At 30 credits for a subject GRE you could take 3 GRE's for 90 credits. I believe the subject GRE's are $130 a piece (roughly). Take the ECE English exam (6 credits) and 4 general CLEP exams (24 credits). Done! Total exams: 8
Roger Habeck did it a couple of years ago at COSC for $2100 I believe. $2200 to $3000 should cover you at today's prices. http://www.geocities.com/ba_in_4_weeks/habeck.html
