I completed my first class earlier this weekend. It was a Computer Concepts and Applications course, which is a fancy way of calling it an introductory computer course. To save money, I used a credit-by-examination method called TECEP. TECEP tests are administered by Thomas Edison State College, a regionally accredited college based in Trenton, New Jersey. You don’t have to be a Thomas Edison State College student to take a TECEP. It is graded on a pass/fail system. I passed, so the credits are now on a transcript at the college. The cost for the 3-credit exam as of this writing is $108. 3 credits down, 117 to go.
Total credits earned: 3
Total cost so far: $108
Cost per credit hour: $36
Credits remaining: 117
