Why didn't I find this sample plan? I really appreciate it.
I have to take a closer look, right now.
Thank you!

And that's the reason you want to review posts, threads, WIKI and probably want to also fill in the addendum and template, otherwise we wouldn't have known you weren't in the US or any other important information... I think the TESU BACS or double degree option may be best for you, unless you have other options that may fit you better...

Yeah, that's true. You can transfer in all your credits, take TECEPs for the required RA credits, complete the cornerstone on edX, and then only need to take the capstone at TESU. The residency fee wouldn’t matter much since it costs nearly the same either way, as long as you complete the cornerstone on edX.

Once enrolled at TESU, you can work ahead, as you’ll have access to all the required assignments and instructions when the course starts. You also know which book is used, so you can read ahead before the term begins. In theory, you could finish everything within the first two weeks of the term.

I just wanted to know opinions about those colleges. I didn't think things go like this. Confused

By the way, I tried to plan TESU BACS alternative credit.
It seems that contact with an academic advisor is necessary.
The website doesn't show the entire elective courses. (Computer Science Electives)

It's available to fulfill all requirements with transfer credit except for two courses. What a school  Smile

I thought the SOS1100 and Capstone course should be done at the TESU because the website says that.
Additionally, I saw the wiki's sample plan saying it could alternate to edX's MicroBachelor's program for a computer science degree or computer technology degree, but I couldn't find them. I just checked.
Maybe I missed something as well.

By the way, TESU BACS was a great suggestion.
I still compare the options and think about where to go, though.

Oh, it was just information literacy.
Thank you.
I thought it was... whatever. I misread it.  Confused

For the most part, I would follow the Sophia.org and Study.com combo, you can also include Coursera Certs for your electives (do all that interest you and can get you ACE credits, it doesn't have to hit the electives or any part of your degree either). You can maximize the recommended trifecta of certs, degree, experience, all of this can be had inexpensively with the affordable ACE options from Coursera, Sophia, Study, and other providers...
