RE: Getting to a one year bachelors degree without CLEP - bjcheung77 - 11-06-2023
Wow, so much happened since I was on, amazing... It's great advice and people will go through the process differently. I usually recommend the trifecta of certs, degree, experience. I'm pretty much on board with the advice, including what davewill mentioned... Here's my suggestion.
1) Coursera $1 USD/first month to get some of the Coursera/ACE credits and for the Certs - $1 US
2) Sophia.org, to get some credits to use towards a TESU BACS/BS-CIS combo - $79 US/first month
3) Complete the Metropolia credits at 579 euro for 3 years worth of IT credits - roughly $600 US
4) Complete ENEB MBA & Masters Big Data (or something of your choice) for transfer credits - roughly $300USD
5) Transfer those credits towards the TESU dual degree and pay the flat rate tuition for 15 credits - $4299
In total, you will be at roughly $5300 and you will have certs, multiple degrees (TESU 2 associates/2 bachelors), and your experience pat down.
I would also add a 6th, UMPI MAOL, depending if you want to ladder up to AMA University DBA/DIT or something later.
Each of these doctoral programs are just 2.5 years long, you can probably do both at the same time with exception (I am looking to do this)
The cost for each is just $5K USD, so for $10K and 2.5 years, you get a double Doctorate from the Philippines!

I thought TESU would not work at all, but I was mistaken. The minimum age, with prior credits (such as from Metropolia and ENEB), is now 16 and with a high school diploma. https://www.tesu.edu/admissions/undergrad-admissions
However, the full Metropolia degree will be way, way cheaper and arguably more useful for someone in Europe.

That's right, TESU should be your very first choice if you want to have a cheap, easy, fast degree from US based institutions that accept a max of 114 credits for transfer, you just need to take the 6 credits and pay a residency waiver fee or take 15 credits from them... Also, If you are looking for EU, then go for that Metropolia program first... as you can transfer all credits from EU into TESU afterwards. BTW, Bosnian_Slovenian, it's great you're thanking Rachel, having said that, you're calling her a bro... which is a little confusing as she's the only female moderator of the group.

I already realized but It was too late. I read her username only after sending her a private message, in which I also refereed to her as bro (o_o). I'm sorry for being too lazy to read a username. However It seems that thankfully, she didn't take it personally since she didn't say anything to me. Sorry for being stupid.
