TESU BA CS with Finnish credits
#1
Hello,

I wanted to do the TESU BA CS with ANSM Math,
I recently saw the cheap finnish credits via Metropolia university, Specially the 180 ECTS for 579€ in IT, I wanted to go the traditional route first with credits from sophia, SDC, straightliner and OSU.

But now I am confused, Should I still go with my original plan or switch over to the 180 ECTS for 579€, Will it help me save more money and time?

The current courses I completed from my earlier university are:

1. Intro to programming
2. Data Structures and algorithms
3. Operating Systems
4. Intro to Object Oriented Programming in C++
5. Digital Logic
6. Basic Mathematics (A mix of calculus and trig)
7. Fundamentals of IT

Since I am an International student I probably have to run it through and transcript evaluation service either way, 
So I will be very grateful if you guys can help me along with this.

Your first evaluation will cost about $200 from ACEI. Adding Finnish credits would be another $100, plus the cost of the credits themselves. I think you've got most/all of the "required" courses from the 579€ ECTS; the rest would mostly be electives.

Unless you're really enthusiastic about what Metropolia offers, I probably wouldn't suggest it for you. If your 7 classes evaluate as 3 US credits each, that's 21 credits. Take a TECEP for about $150 and that covers your "RA equivalent" requirement, when combined with the capstone/cornerstone. OR do the 16-credit flat-rate term, and no TECEP, to save the residency waiver fee.

If your 7 classes somehow evaluate as only 2 US credits each, that's 14 credits. Do the 16-credit flat-rate term and you've got exactly 30 RA/RA-equivalent credits.

If you get 14 credits out of your evaluation and you do not want to do the flat-rate term to avoid the residency waiver, that leaves 10 credits to get from somewhere else. 12 credits of TECEPs (because each one is 3 credits) would be $624-$924. In that case, doing Metropolia credits could be slightly cheaper. But not by much. It might or might not save you any time, either.

I would recommend getting your current credits evaluated by ACEI first, transfer them to TESU, then go from there based on what your evaluation looks like.

Okay, I get it now, But the credits I have currently, are from outside the states, Will they count as RA?

As long as the foreign credits are from an accredited institution and ACEI says that they are equivalent to RA credits, TESU counts them as "RA credits".
