A bit lost and need some advice/help thanks!

[Ideas]

There's an option for getting up to 4 undergraduate degrees if you wanted
(not that you should waste that much time on them, go for the masters!)

Do you know how it works for Bachelor's? I was worried that if I had one TESU and one non-TESU (probably another Big Four), that I could not get another some day? I am not planning to get more than 1 Bachelor's, because I can't wait to start on the Master's, but I am curious.

Hey,

Thanks for making that clear for me.

I see you completed a TESU BA: Comp SCI congrats! I was curious what is the capstone for that and there's also another one called cornerstone. I wanted to get a BA in Comp SCI at TESU/WGU at first but its going to be hard for me since I really don't know more than the super basics of computers. I mainly know the hardware side which most of every one knows these days. So I figured I should aim for either Liberal arts or general management if they are easier to get so I can get a full time job faster. With that being done i can move on to learning and getting more Certs to find a IT position later on. Though currently my job only requires high school degree and Comptia A+ for Entry IT. I feel like getting a bachelors in anything will help my cause a bit when applying for it.

The spreadsheet template is actually a customization of what dfrecore has made, I just modified it with my recommendations.
I would highly suggest you to either complete your BALS or BSBA (I have a plan for both! using the known ACE options).
Essentially, even for newbies or beginners, you can start by taking the required courses to graduate by setting a plan in place.
Take the general education courses and apply it to another degree, it will only take 24-30 credits for the second degree.

In regards to IT and certs, you should really go for one of the WGU BSIT programs, they're very affordable and I recommend them.
You also get certificates included into the tuition! I've written about this within my guide and many people do exactly that.
Their program is perfect for IT beginners/novices to individuals already in the field, you can start by taking courses that transfer in.
Example, for the BSBA or BALS, you can take the IT Fundamentals and Intro C++ from SL and the TEEX CyberSecurity courses.

For RA schools, you can transfer up to 90 credits from one degree program to another school and finish up by taking 30 credits. If you decide to continue at the same school, you can do the 90 credits that satisfy both degree requirements, finish a degree and complete 24-30 credits in the second degree.

You can get more than 4 undergraduates degrees, but the subsequent ones would need to come from NA schools accredited by DEAC for example as they don't have a limit. For example what I wanted to do, RA TESU ASNSM Biology, ASBA & BSBA, WGU BSIT, and an NA Nations University Bachelors in Biblical Studies for cheap.

Honestly, if you read my info, I am going for similar than what I have mentioned above, minus the Nations University degree.
I noticed you did a few courses from Davar? How many did you get done and how many credits in total are you into your degree(s)?
I spent the bulk of my cash on Straighterline coming in with 94 credits for about $12/credit, 2 courses didn't go into my degree plan.

nice thanks! I think I'm going to go for the BSBA General management first. Then use those 90 credits for another bachelors at TESU. Wondering which TESU bachelors now will take majority of the credits of BSBA.


For BSBA general mangemnet have you done the capstone? whats the requirement for it.

how much does it cost to send in my transcript from CUNY for TESU to evaluate? What are the current discounts etc. My goal is to complete all the test out things first before enrolling. But I saw people saying to apply and enroll to TESU immediately to lock your catalog because they keep changing it and making it harder each year. Even if you are not planning to take any courses yet pay the yearly tecep fee.. I thought the TECEP are just exams? What happens if I fail it.

I don't know where you're getting this information from. TESU has a limit of two associates degrees and two bachelors degrees. Not every school has this limit. As I have noted, there is a guy with 14 associates degrees from various community colleges. Excelsior will allow for a third bachelors degree; they don't care how many associates degrees you have when applying for the third bachelors. For example, I can have two associates and two bachelors from TESU and one bachelors from Excelsior, and that will total five undergraduate degrees.

I know TESU won't let you get a third from them, when you have 2 from them. But they also don't allow a third if you have 0-1 from them?

Would they also not allow a third Associates if someone had 0-1 from TESU?

Yes, you "enroll" like a course but they are just exams. Just take one of the easy ones so you don't fail.

[jsd]

They don't base it on how many you have earned from TESU, they base it on how many you have overall.

pretty sure i will fail lol if i were to take it =/. I havent went to school for a couple of years and forgot most things.

Do you know how often TESU changes the catalog? Should I Enroll end of year to lock in my catalog and just pay the $114 for TECEP to keep my catalog active? So during the time now till end of year i could be working on test out credits

They change once a year on July 1st. So I would just enroll in May 2018 and pass the TECEP in June or July 2018.
