Advice about getting the RA credits required for TESU. - CanICode - 09-04-2022
So I want to go to TESU. I want to get the BACS and the BSBA. I then want to do an MBA somewhere.
I want to achieve these things:
1. A Bachelors in computer science
2. A business Bachelors
3. A 4.0 on my Bachelors
4. An MBA. Probably WGU? For speed. I have seen many people do it in under a month.
So I am wanting to figure out the best way to go about starting and getting the RA credits.
Here are options I have found:
1. TECEPTS
2. UMPI then transfer. (Does the GPA on these show up on TESU?)
3. TEL Learning (Seem like the hardest of the three options but very cheap?)
So my question is this: What method for building RA credits FAST and AFFORDABLY is best in your opinion?
RE: Advice about getting the RA credits required for TESU. - dfrecore - 09-04-2022
There's no guarantee that you'll get a 4.0 no matter where you go, that's 100% up to you, so I'm not sure why you're including that.
TECEP's are good if you're a good test-taker. Ungraded, so won't help your GPA (although won't hurt it either).
You could also do ONU's YourWay courses, they're still available for $50/cr. Cheaper than TEL, and I've heard nothing but good things about them.
Dine' College is $55/cr.
UMPI then transfer is kind of odd, and I'm not sure what the point is. You're much better off getting your BABA at UMPI and getting 30 graded credits along the way, and then getting your BACS at TESU after you finish at UMPI instead.
Your GPA stays at the school you're at, TESU will take it into account (you're required to have a 2.0) but your GPA doesn't transfer - and doesn't matter anyway, since it's still at UMPI when you take those credits. Any school that you apply to for an MBA will look at ALL of your transcripts, so they'll see your grades at UMPI.

Keep in mind these are going away in March, which is still plenty of time to knock out everything you'd need. But don't sleep on it if this is the path you're going.

You can no longer enroll at ONU. Per admissions the cut off for enrollment was the end of August. Oh well.

You can no longer enroll at ONU for the yourway program. They have removed the webpage as well. Per admissions the cut off for enrollment was the end of August. Oh well.

Well I stand corrected. I must have misread.

I thought they were available until March. Bummer.

Looks like if you are already enrolled you can continue to take classes until march. Anyone not enrolled is out of luck.
You asked why I said listed that I wanted a 4.0. That is to state that I do not want to finish a degree somewhere like UMPI or WGU that is competency based and would not be assigning a 4.0 and if I transferred out somewhere they would view it as a 3.0 or an employer that asks, I want to be able to say that I got a 4.0 on my degree from where I graduate.
I am trying to find the best way to build RA credits right now. That is the start. ONU sounded great. Such is life.

UMPI does regular grading, they are not like WGU.

@CanICode, that's a compact and concise plan. It's short and sweeet, but doesn't contain much details about your commitments, process, or situation.
You may want to review this template (including the last post addendum) and provide more details. Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-New-to-DegreeForum-How-this-Area-works

UMPI is nothing like WGU. You have grades at UMPI. In fact, you need to receive an 80 or higher to pass a class at UMPI. I graduated from UMPI with a 4.0 and a 3.949.
