College websites

[Jules A, MSN]

What do you look for when you are considering a distance school?

I know I'm not the most computer savvy but when I go to a college website and click on their RN to BSN program all I really want to know is:

1. what are their gen ed requirements

2. how much is it going to cost me

It is important to me as an older student to be as cost/time efficient as possible so finding a school that will take most of my previous classes and CLEPs is a huge consideration. I've had to click all over the place to find this out and for some I still have no clue what gen ed classes they require. Maybe if there are any school techies lurking they will give this some thought. :wink2:

Jules, what state you're in matters. I have several excellent online RN-BSN programs here in NYS but they're SUNY and I pay the reduced resident's rate.

Where are you?

Thanks for replying. I'm in the MD/DC/VA area and there are tons of schools here but I am trying to shop around because the one that will take the most of my transfer classes is >$400 a credit. I have have been googling just to see what else is out there. I'm really against having to take more undergrad classes if I don't absolutely have to so I guess I'd rather pay a higher tuition.

SUNY charges out of state folks $442 per credit hour.

Excelsior will take everything.
