Another reason TESU was my vote earlier is again ability to customize your degree plan, so you can look at the requirements for your Top 3 choices and 3 backup options and see what their requirements for entry are, make sure to take courses towards those prerequisites while you're doing the PLA or taking courses at TESU.

I've been seeking information on MSCS prerequisites from various schools that I like. My goal is to have a list of all CS requirements, and then try to fulfil as many of those as possible with RA credits from various sources. Then I'll transfer those credits to a school that is most flexible in accepting transferred credits and finalize a bachelor degree there (probably TESU, with their ability to accept up to 114 credits).
But there's one thing I'm still not sure: Does TESU usually accept transferred credits for courses that aren't in their BACS curriculum? I'm asking because many of the MSCS requirements I've seen aren't in TESU's curriculum, so I don't want to finish those prerequisites just to know later that I can't use them to earn my degree at TESU.
