- TESU also does a block transfer (if you came in with the BSIT, you would have all of your Gen Ed's cleared, and probably all of your Free Electives - that's 81cr done) - WGU's block transfer would only clear about 30cr.
- You would come to TESU only needing 39cr from the AOS - and even less if Psych was part of the courses you took to get the BSIT.
- At TESU then, you might only need 24 new credits to complete your degree (if you'd previously taken Intro to Psych, Developmental Psych, etc. those would go in the AOS)
The main issue I see with WGU is that their Gen Ed's are a little harder to clear - you need science (or maybe 2) and a lab, and Critical Thinking which is a little harder to find. But it's still only about 30cr, so less expensive than the 60cr you'd need at TESU.
Interesting, I wasn't thinking that TESU would do the block transfer in. Luckily I haven't done any of the AOS for Psych yet, guess I'll apply and see how the courses I've already taken at Straighterline transfer in. Currently I'm right at the half way point for the TESU degree 61/120 (haven't gotten the cornerstone waived yet).
