The current course plan has 31 credits at WGU, do you know if it varies by degree? When looking through the courses at WGU for this degree it only lists 22 credits as non-transferable. And if I can reduce the number down that would be nice.
Currently, I have these with WGU:
Critical reasoning 3cr
Intro to HR Management 3cr
Marketing Applications 3cr
Spreadsheets 3cr
Change Management 3cr
Operations & Supply Chain Management 3cr
Business Strategy 3cr
Training & Development 3cr
Business Management Tasks 3cr
Business Management Capstone Written Project 4cr

You still need to complete 30 through WGU. The list of options you can transfer in is just that - a list of course options you can transfer in; mix and match them as you like to get to the 90, but in the end at least 30 must be completed with WGU.

DAVE School is RA accredited now and I would be able to use the 60 credits from the certificate program I completed there but I'm pretty sure completing the degree there would require moving back to Orlando to take some of the courses (which I have very, very little interest in at the moment with my current job and living situation)
Yeah. You are right they probably won't be accepted. But it doesn't hurt to at least send your transcripts to TESU and see what happens, you never know unless you try.
Also if you are starting from scratch EC, COSC, WGU are all cheaper. Just wanted to make sure you were aware.

It does? Outside of the State of New Jersey, I don't think it does. None of the big 3 or WGU have reputations. really (good or bad).
TESU and WGU both offer ACSB accredited business degrees. They both have the word "University" in their name.
The reason I was suggesting WGU is because it is 3k cheaper, potentially faster, less likely to change policies without notice and easier to use financial aid such as pell grant. Especially, if one were to use the Pell Grant and Straigherline Scholarship, WGU would be much cheaper than TESU. For myself, if I were to choose a school for a business degree right now I'd pick WGU honestly. It is too late for me to go back and choose WGU now, I've already got a plan and am almost done.
If OP lives in the State of New Jersey, then yes TESU would probably have a better reputation.
I know TESU is/was the most common choice for people on this forum because until recently they were the cheapest. However, they have increased their prices and made increasing frustrating policies as well. Newbies are on this forum are starting to choose other options. But just because a lot of people on this fourm chose TESU at one point, that doesn't mean its reputation is better.
