I was advised by the registrar office to take atleast 16 credits and have my residency waiver fee waived.
They advised me to have my Area of Study courses taken at TESU.
I would like to keep my cost at a minimum, but also have plans to do MS from a different university.

As has been stated multiple times, if you're concerned you should always check what the program admission requirements are for the specific degree you're interested in. They will state if there are specific degree requirements, course requirement, GPA requirements, or anything else you need before you apply. Once you have that information you can work backward to create (or modify) your degree plan and courses to meet those requirements.

Not all schools are competitive or have strict requirements. I'm in an MBA program right now and I only have a handful of graded credits on my transcript (I have 3 courses from CC level at a 3.0 GPA plus 1 course from TESU at a 4.0 GPA). But I meet the other requirements because of my degree and work experience.

Once I finish this degree, my plan is to apply to the Georgia Tech Masters in CS program or move onto a Ph.D. program in management. I think my chances are pretty good since in addition to the undergrad degrees (and the MBA I'll have at that point), I also have a great resume with 30 years of experience, many notable achievements, plus great references. The latter items will probably factor higher into the chances of my admission than my academic credentials, which are just the checkbox needed to qualify to apply in the first place.

In any case, admissions to highly competitive schools is all about the total package. Graded credits, GPA, and GRE/GMAT/LSAT scores are only part of the equation. The rest is all about the applicant, their background/resume, references, and how convincing they can be to the admissions team that they will add value to the student body.

Thanks for that insight! I am researching on the univesities that I intend to apply. Will look into their requirements.

I took a few courses with TESU but have a wide range of credit that is clearly visible on my transcript.  I have been accepted to every MS/MA program I have applied and just recently went through the most intensive application process of my life at USC for a doctorate program and was accepted.  Do what makes sense, do the best you can, and I think for most programs it will work out.

What field are you in, may I ask? Will this work for a science field like CS?
