TESU Masters in Data Science

WGU has a MS in Data Analytics if you want a better price.

Hi dfrecore,

Is it possible to do WGU MS in Data Analytics after completing BSBA CIS from TESU?

No. The BSBA in CIS will not meet their prerequisite degree requirement. I already tried enrolling since I had previously applied to WGU, so all I needed to do was change my program of interest. WGU is inflexible when it comes to prerequisite degree requirements. I could take a dozen data science courses, and WGU would still not admit me since I have a BSBA in CIS instead of a major in Information Systems. There are other ways to qualify.

• Option 2: Hold an Udacity nanodegree in data analytics.
  
  
• Option 3: Submit a résumé for review showing at least 3 years of significant and recent experience in data analysis.
  
  
• Option 4: Provide verification of a current Oracle SQL, Oracle BI, or SAS certification that has been earned in the past five years.
  

Mini-rant: WGU's degree requirements are stupid. Almost every other school will take into consideration how many courses you've taken in a subject.

Thanks for the details. WGU is not flexible, they're not accepting certifications older than 5 years as well as computer courses. Therefore they're not accepting my Advanced Diploma in Computer application (2002) which has 30 credits. 

The best option would be completing Oracle SQL, Oracle BI, or SAS certification. I think this route would be easy.
