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.

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.

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.

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.

I also used straightline to take Pre-Cal, which TESC will take.
