[quote=bearishgurl]Your argument here has a minor problem, AN. It is technically now impossible to graduate from most CSU campuses in 4 yrs even if you start there as a freshman – due to recent massive instructor layoffs in many popular degree programs as a result of recent heavy budget cuts. The only way to circumvent this problem is to take the missing credits needed to graduate at summer and/or online classes at a different CSU campus and transfer them to your school.[/quote]
Do you have data behind the “virtually impossible to graduate from most CSU campuses in 4 years”? Even if you’re correct, this is not normal condition, so I don’t suspect this problem to continue. Again, I’m skeptical of this statement.
[quote=bearishgurl]Also, in order to get an “internship,” a student needs to be accepted into a degree program. In order to be accepted into a degree program at CSU, you need at least 56 units of undergrad GE’s completed. These can be obtained economically at the CC level. So whatever kind of job a CC student works will likely have no bearing on whether or not they will be able later to land an internship (when they are qualified to be considered for one).[/quote]
I don’t know about CSU, but it’s not the case for UC. If you want to compete CSU vs CC WRT cost, CSU tuition is $6,562. Tuition for SD CC is ~$1500/year. That’s a cost difference of $4k/year. Do you think it’s worth it to having to deal CC->CSU for a $4k/year saving? This is assuming you’re not taking CC classes while you’re going to SDSU. That would cut down the $4k/year saving in tuition.
