With my degree plan I have 9 (8 with the science options) classes total I'd have to take at TESU. Factoring in 2 terms at the flat rate (in state) I'm somewhere in the $7-9k range with grad fees. Since I'd need to take 9 classes that should also waive the residency fee. To me it sounds reasonable unless im missing a big "gotcha" somewhere?(12-06-2022, 07:52 PM)faptaincrunch Wrote:(12-06-2022, 05:01 PM)dfrecore Wrote: TESU's IT degree cannot be done via Alt-credit; I would suggest WGU instead.
I thought about WGU but decided on TESU since im in NJ. Still, I might give WGU a second look. Are there any Chem/Phys labs 1 and 2 that work for the TESU degree? Maybe Sophia's new courses?
You could take Study.com'sAnd then take your Physics Labs at TESU or take the Physics I lab at SL and the Physics II lab at TESU
- Physics 111: Physics I
- Physics 112: Physics II
You could take Straighterline'sAnd then take Physics II at SDC, then the Physics II lab at TESU
- Physics I
- Physics I Lab
Just depends on whether you like SL or prefer SDC as to which you choose.
But the main issue at TESU is not the science w/labs (although it's a hurdle); your main problem is the major courses - they take almost nothing alt-credit wise for the major, so you have to take everything through TESU, which is a very expensive proposition; I think it makes the degree close to $20k, which is not worth it IMHO. I'd go elsewhere for sure. They're just not a good enough school to fork out that kind of cash.
Josh Madakor's original plan for the IT TESU degree was around 20k to complete. You now have a much better plan.
You are correct that it would come to around 9k with two 3-month terms at TESU, which is reasonable.
Considering a butt-in-seat college might take 50k and five years to do, that is a lot of savings in both time and money.
