You're not in Arizona?
Nope, I'm currently in Europe. If I were in Arizona still, I'd have been tempted to do WGU instead of TESU.

Same situation here.
It's a shame WGU only caters to US residents.

It's a connectivity issue. They have had international students who could not meet the internet access requirements. There are a few programs open to Canadians.

If it's that, they should have some sort of internet connectivity requirements. Not "you must be in this geographic area" because there are a LOT of places in the US still that have very poor internet connections. Being in the US means absolutely nothing.

Agree. Lol. Its very laughable excuse. What system do they have that cant accommodate for people outside USA? Lol.
Thousands of online international student are enrolled in other USA Universities and they r managing with connectivity all over the world. And as said, many places outside USA have better internet connection than inside...
RE: Brandman Mypath - New Programs - bjcheung77 - 12-20-2020
LOL, For WGU, it's not really a connectivity issue that they have, it's an accreditation issue they were facing. And at the time, the USDOE was putting pressure on them because of their CBE model. They need to provide results/reports to indicate successful completion of programs to authorities (yes, the regional accreditation agencies). It is the "students" participation (or lack of) and graduation rates that play into this, basically, it was lackluster! So, in short, you have to put the "blame" on a few bad apples that caused this for international students. I mean, they "removed" the option for Business programs to Canadians because of accreditation issues (think RA & ACBSP requirements).

They claim that it's from past issues with internet connectivity. Every country has different government regulations so that may be part of it. Might also depend on where the proctors are located. Many online programs are only open to students in that nation so it's pretty common.

Well i am sure they will not tell us that problem is in them or their programs. Its easier to blame the internet. Lol

Where is the study plan with alternative credits for Brandman University, I see it has a CBE program path but we need a study plan to start with.

I don't understand what you're asking for. Are you wanting a degree plan for Brandman? And for which degree? If you want a degree plan, you're much better off starting a new thread and asking some questions there.
