FYI | TESU - Data Analytics

[Zachcleigh]

Zach, TESU only allows 12 credits MAX transfer to their Masters program.  That means you must complete 24 credits from them.  I usually would recommend going with WGU for the Masters in Data Analytics, you can get a Udacity Nanodegree included in the price of tuition.

Having said that, many people don't know about the Bachelors to Masters tuition discounts on 12 credits.  This is also in addition to the 3 course (9 credits transferable to TESU from Statistics.com, you can transfer 3 more credits if needed elsewhere).  That leads you to only doing 12 graduate credits at TESU to finish off the degree.  BUT, since you're doing two degrees already, you will not have that option of doing the Bachelors to Masters tuition.

And there is always a workaround for everything, haha... and I won't get to that as I know you wouldn't do it.  It's a time waster and you can get it from WGU anyways for much much cheaper.

I'm aware that WGU is cheaper, but from reading different articles and testimonies, I am not really all that impressed with it.  


My issue is that the degree is expensive.. especially for being a TESU degree.  To make matters worse, the program is not eligible for federal financial aid (I still have no idea why this is an issue).  Therefore, I can't use government grants, my GI Bill, or Army Tuition Assistance.  

I'd be interested in hearing the work around you've mentioned.  You'd be surprised at the things I'm willing to do to pinch a few pennies lol.  

Thank you
