Thomas Edison State U vs Utah Valley Univer..
 

Hey all,

Looking in getting 4 year degree, and transfer associates. These two universities so far are very appealing for gettting an aviation degree online. Please any suggestion in picking between the two?

Thanks for the help.

Ps: I will have to pay out state tuition on both.

I know pilots that have used TESC and gone on to DAL. I just finished Liberty Un. It's more of an online college curriculum and they give one year of credit for your ratings.

This doesn't belong here.

Internet police!

Actually it kind of does. Lots of regional peeps are looking to start, continue or finish their degrees. The ones at the majors either have one or don't need one anymore.

I ended up picking Thomas Edison over Utah Valley for a few reasons. 1. Thomas Edison will let you CLEP out of classes Utah Valley at the time did not. 2. Thomas Edison runs 3 month semesters instead of 4 month. I actuall had 38 credits to finish when I started and did it all within 1 year. I CLEPed out of 9 credit hours as well. The classes were not easy, but they are doable. I did most of my studying on the road because I had a family at home I wanted to hangout with. Also Thomas Edison cost me around 10K for the year, and I think Utah was going to cost around 15K. Just my two cents. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

Recently enrolled at TESC, did you do the pay per credit plan? Also, did you do the actual CLEP tests, or the "in house" TESEPS or whatever they call their version of CLEP's? I have around 38hrs left as well. Trying to figure out the quickest cheapest way to finish.

I took courses at both. I started at UVU, took some classes with TESC and then transferred them back to UVU. Looking back, TESC was priced better and the courses were comparable between the two schools.

You will not find an easier degree ham UVUs online program.

Take it that you went there :-P

I did the Comprehensive Tuition Plan ( I believe this lets you take up to 36 credits a year for the same cost.) I then took the CLEP test of Analyze and Interpreting Literature, It is worth 6 credit hrs ( I suck at Literature but still passed. I studied about 3 weeks before taking this test.) I also used straightline to take Pre-Cal, which TESC will take.
