What is the best college/option for me?

You can see degree plans for TESU here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...ts_Roadmap

Just about everything else can come from Sophia, Coursera (not proctored) and Study.com (proctored, but it's the recorded proctor RPNow). As long as your workspace is clean and you stay in-frame while taking the exam, SDC generally doesn't care if your room isn't perfectly clean. It's a lot easier and almost 0 stress (except for normal exam jitters) when compared to a live proctor. I've taken a lot of RPNow-proctored exams and I've never had one rejected or come back as "questionable".

You'll need at least 24 RA credits (not counting the capstone & cornerstone) for TESU. If you have 15 CC credits, that leaves 9. Depending on your budget, you've got a few options there.

  1. You can do a 16-credit-term at TESU. This would eliminate the need to pay the residency waiver fee. There are a number of "easy" classes that have NO proctoring and that can be finished early. As long as you hit the course deadlines, they don't care very much when you finish. No set class times or anything like that. While not completely self-paced, it's pretty close. 
  2. Take 3 courses from ASU Universal Learner. These are $425 each. Some are 100% self-paced, others have weekly course deadlines. The ones with weekly deadlines are usually 1-2 hours of work per week and can be completed during the weekend, if needed. The "week" begins on Tuesday, giving you plenty of weekend time to finish what needs to be done. Most of them have a proctored final exam, but it's RPNow and I've never had an issue with them (as stated above). https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Ar...al_Learner
  3. Complete either XAMK's Intro to Video Games Creation certificate or your choice of at least 20 ECTS from Metropolia University. Both of these options are self-paced, no proctoring. There would be a $200 evaluation fee from ACEI to transfer the Finnish credits to TESU. You can see more information here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Fi...iversities There is also a sample BACS/BSBA CIS plan that incorporates Metropolia credits here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...z_version)

Ah ok, so as I understand TESU's only proctored exam is the final one for the capstone, none of the courses? I have no problem with a bit of proctoring if I am being honest.

The degree plan looks pretty straightforward which is good.

With Coursera, I thought they were not accredited? I am guessing some courses are though, it would now seem. I will probably look into as many courses before I enroll, I have always found that to be the best option. Is there anything like Sophia that I could take, something non proctored but provides a decent amount of credits?
