Situation:
Hi, I currently have an unforeseen delay in my start of my UMPI term, so now I have 2 months empty I would like to fill with degree preparation for another degree for later this year. I think a BS Information Technology would be fitting for my later career goals and improve chances for my long term goal of full remote work. I scouted out TESU and Purdue for this as they seem to be the options that take the most Sophia credit. I wanted to ask for assistance with making the best decision, my goal for this plan is to complete it as fast as possible. TESU requires RA credit and I am not sure if my UMPI degree will deliver enough of that, as I use a huge portion of Sophia for it. Bjcheung77 already helped me understand that I can only start at TESU with RA credit completed. It seems unlikely I can fit a whole degree in these two months due to that, but I would still like doing certifications/additional Ace credit these two months to complete a degree after the UMPI degree.
Thank you!

Just for reference, here's the answers from my PM to you: No, TESU graduation dates are 4 times a year. You'll graduate the same time as your UMPI.
No, TESU requires 30 RA credits, 15 from them if you're doing the residency credits. You can do TECEPs if you wanted, but still, it'll take time to do the TECEPs and the 15 credits. It's going to be a long shot, if you wanted to do so...
