IBM Data Science Professional Certificate Course equivalencies

@sarahmac, it's sad and I agree to an extent... institutions will be that way, they'll try their best to get you to take courses through them or agreement/partnership course providers.  So be it, unless you're really needing the BS Data Analytics degree, there are other similar programs available at WGU as an example.

There are quite a lot of non-US folks here though who cannot do WGU. I personally thought it was a positive sign TESU were expanding their tech-related degrees (i.e. DS, Cloud etc.) because they could have really captured a missing market that WGU doesn't cover.

In the end though, I think the inflexibility of those programs will see people continue to do BA CS and then a master's. Especially given Georgia Tech and Texas A&M's relative affordability - their master's work out either similar in cost or cheaper than the BS DS at TESU.
