Questions From Future Student Looking to Enroll at TESU, Excelsior, or WGU
#1
Hi, I have a handful of questions that perhaps the community can give me some insight to. I figured I'd put them all in one place instead of starting multiple threads. 


  1. TESU has a policy of issuing a maximum 2 associates degrees & 2 BA degrees. Are most schools like this?
  2. I'm seeing some schools IT programs are ABET certified like Excelsior & WGU and others are not like TESU. Is ABET certification something that stands out or employers look for in non-engineering titled computer related programs?
  3. Similarly some Cyber security programs have the NSA & DHS CAE - CD / CO certification like Excelsior and others do not like TESU. Is this also something that tends to stand out to employers for this field or does it not really have that much impact?
  4. I see WGU mentioned quite a bit but what's it's advantage compared to the big 3? I can't anything on their site on what the maximum credit transferred in is allowed or what kind of alternate credits they accept like Saylor & Study.com
  5. If I'm initially just trying to get all my alternate credits bundled into a degree quickly would you recommend going for degrees - AA or BA - that have no capstones? Or will it not really help much? There's quite a few on TESU that have no cap like ASNSM Biology, Math, & Criminal Justice / BA IT & Data Science.
  6. WGU offers quite a few certifications with their computer programs, Excelsior less so, and TESU looks like little to none. Does this add much value to the program or would it be just as easy to do these on my own?
  7. If I were to enroll at TESU and just want to get my alternate credits bundled quickly would there be any reason not to get two AA 1st and then do two BA's there in different programs or would it be better just to do the BA first? I am currently not urgently needing any of these degrees for career / promotion purposes but I think getting something in hand sooner helps to keep the motivation for continuing up.
      To give some background at the moment I'm finishing up all the CLEP's I intend to take and hopefully by the end of the year / beginning of next year to be enrolled at probably TESU or Excelsior. Since these both accept a very large amount of self paced, cheaper, and probably easier alternate credits I would like to use them to bundle all those up into a diverse foundation of degrees to use as a springboard into an MS or more at more reputable schools. Thanks for any useful feedback.
