Is TESU the best choice for my son?
#6
I think the best option would be to do as many courses as possible through study.com, and others first then do the TESU portion last because maybe by that point the tuition reimbursement would kick in. And then do the final 16-18 credits at TESU that way the employer could pay for it and you wouldn't have to pay the waiver.

He is a basic plan:

3 credit prior credits (AP GEO). However, this might be more trouble than it's worth. If the test was taken more than 5 years ago, you have to fill out a form to get the archived scores and it costs $25 to send them. Depending it might be easier and less headache just to do a quick easy course on sophia or study.com instead.

16 -18 credits at TESU
This includes 3 credit Cornerstone, 3 credit capstone. The rest can be whatever fits. It might be easier to just to the UL finance at TESU since Idk if there are enough other options available for cheap, but it all depends on the FINRA cert The employer should pay for these if the timing is right. This all could be done in 1 or 2 terms depending. And TECEPs can't count towards the 16-18 here.

12 - 15 credits RA credits (meaning through an actual college and not ACE. For these you can use TECEP, Community College, ASU, Olivet, or anything that fits) Just make sure your total courses taken from an actual college equals at least 30 with 16 of those 30 at TESU as actual courses at not TECEPs.

88 - 91 credits through Sophia, study.com, CLEP, StraighterLine, etc. And I'm including whatever the FINRA might get him in this so it could be less than he thinks. This would equal around 30 courses/exams but could be less depending on FINRA.

Info on Finra certification: https://www2.tesu.edu/oplr/client.php?client=FINRA

Actually, if he has all of them done he would have over 20 credits done with FINRA certs.
