Does TESU accept credits from University of the people?

WGU is pretty much limited to students in the US or Canada (with the exception of those in the military), making WGU out of the question for international students. They have a VERY specific degree program (which isn't a bad thing in and of itself) with no electives so there is very little that you can transfer in - despite them accepting "up to" 90 credits in transfer. Their competency-based approach is inexpensive for people who already have a good foundation in CS (because those students can go through the program quickly). If you don't already have a foundation in CS, it's going to take you longer to get through their courses and could wind up costing you several times what TESU costs as a result.

I'm not saying that WGU is a bad school. On the contrary, I think they've got decent academic programs. But the way they work isn't something that will be good for everyone.
