College Advice |
Question: I'm going to get my associates of accounting online but Im not sure which college to go to...?I talked with University of Phoenix and it will be 19,500 to get my associates online. I was thinking that well I'm completely eligible for grants becuase I am considered an independent and I have a child. BUT now I was researching a little more and had NO idea that I could go to Chandler Gilbert Community College online.. at $71 dollars per credit versus $325 dollars per credit. Would it be easier to get grants and scholarships for Chandler-Gilbert? Should I go there versus UOP? Also, another question. For this accounting degree do I have to do my prerequistes and stuff?11 months ago
Best AnswerDefinitely go to the community college. I'm not familiar with that particular school, but there is no reason to pay $19,500 for a for-profit associate's degree when you could get at least as good a program at almost any community college, and you would have a much easier time transferring to a four-year college, should you eventually decide to go in that direction, from the community college. And yes, it would be easier to get scholarships and grants at the community college. Since the for-profits like UOP are in it for the money, they aren't too interested in giving you a financial break. This is what you would be taking at Chandler-Gilbert College: http://webport.cgc.maricopa.edu/published/c/he/check2007/checksheet/66/?__s=nf-20090307230929-30516 This is what you would be taking at the University of Phoenix: http://phoenix.edu/Programs/Sealsheets/Axia/012/AAACC-012.pdf |
