I know that goes both ways as was alluded to here, possibly a less useful degree from TESU. I should also research what the Capstone is like at WGU. Presumably quite different from the one at TESU?
I've been planning on earning a BACS from Tesu but this new offering from WGU has completely changed my mind. This program is much, much better than Tesu's. We can assume that WGU's pricing for this program will be similar to its BS in Software Development; which is currently $3190 per 6-month term. With fees, it's really about $3500 to $3600. That puts it at around $7000 if it takes you a year or $10,500 if you go 18 months. Additionally, it's been reported that this program will eventually be ABET accredited. While it's not a major thing as far as job prospects go, it does signal that the program is rigorous and thoroughly evaluated.
