What does Utah Valley cost compared to Embry Riddle. I am trying to decide between the two. --> Cost for online, not attending campus.

-Thanks.
For the most part I have found the online classes to be pretty well structured, the only real difficulty is yourself. I have days when I just dont want to do it. I think a lot of the classes, especially the early ones were way too easy to fill up an entire semester in a class room. I am told that UVSC is a bit less than ERAU. I have taken 15-18 credits every semester and have not felt overloaded, though I have been fortunate enough to be able to do a lot of homework at work. THis semester for example, I am almost finished with 15 credits this semester in only about a month and a half. Challenging for credits for the ratings you already have is pretty easy, just fax a copy of your certificate and written test report and you get the credits, but that doesnt effect your GPA. If you are still pursuing ratings, then do not register for them unless you are certain to finish by the end of the semester because while you will get an incomplete for the flight portion, you will get a fail for the ground portion and that sticks on your transcript. EDIT: that fail is if you do not complete the written test.
