Looking for Computer Science - Software Engineering Bachelor's Degree - flan_eur - 11-22-2025
Dear all, I’m exploring options for a BS in Computer Science or Software Engineering and would appreciate any insights or recommendations.
Would you suggest going with TESU? I’m trying to understand the total estimated cost and whether it’s possible to complete the bulk of the credits through Sophia and Study, since I already have experience with both. I’ve seen some information, but I’d love clarification from people who’ve gone through it.
I’m also considering the University of the People. The only downside for me is the limit on how many courses you can take per term. If anyone has experience with that structure, I’d really like to hear your thoughts.
Given the way I work, I’d prefer to complete as many credits as possible through Sophia or Study. The TESU double degree in BA CS and BS CIS also caught my attention. If anyone has gone that route, I’d appreciate hearing about the cost, workload, and whether there are generous transfer options or advisors I could reach out to.
For TESU, UoP, or any other schools you recommend, degree plans would be incredibly helpful.
(Disclaimer: I am more interested in Bachelor's than Master's because of professional reasons, but if you want to recommend any master's, I am all ears too).

Basically, Your budget might be a bit restrictive.

You may want to search the EU options that may fit your budget.
But, what's the information for this? I don't get the two you entered here.

Thanks for the swift reply. I’m not sure if I understood well what was expected to reply in those areas. As for the budget, I wouldn’t mind to go up if needed and it’s a nice deal, but as far as I can understand, TESU would be around 5000 per bachelor right? Thanks
