Canada to US (TESU) - Pi-kachu - 09-22-2025
Your Location: canada
Your Age: 30
What kind of degree do you want?: BA math/CS and BS data science and analytics
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 40 credits from a 4 year university in canada (applied mathematics) 15 credits from community college in Massachusetts US. HS diploma from Massachusetts as well.
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: none, planning to take the maximum I can
Any certifications or military experience?: none
Budget: preferably 1 term at TESU @ max credits (15 cr) so I don't have to pay the residency fee
Commitments: none
Dedicated time to study: full time
Timeline: 6 months
I just applied to TESU and will send them both my transcripts once accepted, my main goal is to graduate within 1 term so I dont have to pay for another, is that possible with the degree I chose? I saw many double degree vs double major and from what I understood, its possible to get two degrees that both have double majors. Plus two associates that each have double majors as well. Is that something possible in 1 term or they will not allow it.
I will make a spreadsheet and list all the ACE credits that will be accepted once I get my transcripts evaluated. Will they accept Canadian transcripts or I need to send them to WES?

You missed the most important information I am/was looking for, the question I have is.... Does Canada want to be the 51st state? Oh, I mean, which province are you in? To answer your questions, you will need an evaluation of your credits to be equivalent to US. Yes, I'm probably the main person on this board who actually recommends doing exactly that for TESU and for UMPI or other institutions that allow a freebie associates!

Lol if they become 51st state then its all smooth sailing from here. And ontario which umpi accepts credits from but I need a degree in math and CS unfortunately. TESU and wgu are the only ones that make sense.
I looked into the BS DS&A and it looks like I won't be able to complete it in 1 term. Is there any other BS not BA that I can get with my math/CS without too many extra classes?
I only ask because my future employer will only pay if its a BS related to math/CS... I tired to explain the BA/BS difference but he says its company policy.

Yes, you can do a combo of several degrees and AOS and for some courses, you would need to check where to complete, like Calculus 3.
One challenge that you would have is the limit of 3 courses overlapping across the AOS.

No such guide for the data analytics so far, but here is the TESU page, which heavily emphasizes the partnership with statistics.com:

Regarding overlapping im not sure i quite understand it honestly.

You’re planning to take 15 credits residency at TESU; Calc 3 could be part of that.
