Any certifications or military experience? No

TESU is regionally accredited, and UOP is nationally accredited. RA is better.

The Computer Science degree looks like a good fit for you.

If all your credits come in, you shouldn't have that much work left to do to finish your degree.

Post your TESU evaluation when it gets completed, and we can help you plan your remaining courses.

Thank you, I just sent in my transcripts for evaluation this morning, hope to hear back soon.

You probably know this, but neither of them will sponsor a student visa. However, either of them would allow you complete your US degree while living outside the country.

You are almost done with TESU's BACS degree, including having more than enough UL credits (Sac State uses the LL=1-99, UL=100-199 numbering system). TESU may not catch this, and you'll need to contact them to tell them this (send them here to see the info, it's about halfway down the page: https://catalog.csus.edu/financial-regis...istration/).

You have 2 options for enrollment, 1 is easier, the other is cheaper:

----------------------------------------------------
OPTION 1
Operating systems: you can do SDC's COMPSCI 105: Intro to Operating Systems
Civic Engagement: since you're already going to have to sign up for SDC for a month, take their POLS 103: Comparative Politics
$199 for a month at SDC

Then do the cornerstone through edX for $500.

Then enroll at TESU and do the Capstone + pay the residency waiver.

Total cost: $5,890

----------------------------------------------------
OPTION 2

Enroll in the FT/FR option for $4,788
Take the following:
COS-240: Operating Systems
POS110: American Government (as a course or e-Pack)
CIS-107: Computer Concepts & Applications (as a course or e-Pack)
PLA-100: Intro to Prior Learning Assessment
Cornerstone
Capstone

Total cost: $4,788

----------------------------------------------------
For $1000 price differential, I'm not sure which option I'd choose. They'll both be done in a single 12-week term, and can both be completed by the end of the January term, in March. So it's up to you as to how you want to get everything done.

Sadly yeah, currently planning to move back to Asia and complete the degree back home. Hopefully be able to land a job and apply for a H1b or something similar in the future to come back.

Thanks, I am leaning more towards option 1, the $1000 cost difference doesn't make that much of a difference for me budget wise.
