Way cheaper with TESU.. degree may not hold same “value” even though this field doesn’t seem to really care about where anyways unless it’s MIT.. regardless, you can add that masters in and top it off. How long is a good masters for cs, especially the ones you reccomend?

Also With TESU, if we’re transferring 60 credits or so im assuming the remaining 60 will take 2 years like a normal school to complete?

Sophia.org: Takes 2-3 months to complete the necessary credits.
Study.com: Takes 3-5 months to complete the necessary credits.
TEL/ONU/ASU: These 9 RA credits should take maybe 2-4 months, depending on circumstances.
American Government @ InstantCert: 2-4 weeks.
TECEPS: These are exams. It takes about 1 month to sign up for one and then be able to take it. If you decide you WANT to take the Network Technology TECEP, that one takes several months to study for properly.
TESU 16-credit-term: 3 months, can pay a little extra to extend the capstone for an additional 8 weeks
StraighterLine calculus (optional): 1 month

These can be taken consecutively, one after another, or they may overlap. For instance, Study.com places a limit on how many courses you are allowed to finish in a month. Once you take 5 exams, you could switch to working on something else. On the other hand, if you have a lot of work and/or personal stuff going on in your life, you can choose to slow down for all but the courses that must be taken from TESwU itself.

This is a terrible idea, if you really want to take 2+ years to get this degree and take 60cr there, go somewhere else.  This will cost WAY too much money ($31k+).  There are tons of schools where it will cost half of that or less to get a degree.  FHSU is only $226.88/cr, so the entire degree would only cost $27k, and 60cr would be $13k.  More options out there for sure.

If people are telling me TESU OR WGU in another post I’m assuming that means transferring my credits in and completing my degree there. Not sure what it means to do TECEP and all that extra stuff. I just want to go to the school and complete the credits missing but now you’re saying it’s too expensive? E

Thanks
