Coursera/UoN Texas Bacherlor's of Applied Science

Has anyone heard of this at all? They seem to have the same transfer policy as WGU and very liberal allowance for sources of credit.

The final 30 must be done at Coursera through 8-week terms for about $9,900.

It's comparable to a TESU BS Technical Studies or BALS or COSC BSGS w/Concentration. For a degree from a tier 1 state University it may be worthwhile to spend the extra time and money if you can afford the time to do so.

Thoughts?

If a BAAS is what you're after, I think APUS' BAAS in Technical Management is a better fit for you.

Cheaper than UNT's program at $285 per credit + $65 tech fee per course; APUS will also accept ACE credits AND the Penn Foster credits you're already accumulating.

Max credit transfer credit at APUS is 90 credits - with a 60 credit limit on non-traditional credits (ACE).

Another option would be ENMU's BAAS or BS programs in Electronics Engineering Techology- they also accept ACE and nationally accredited degrees. 

The downside is they only offer online courses towards these degrees in spring and fall semesters - no summer courses. Plus some required courses alternate which years they're offered so this wouldn't be a "fast" option (2 to 2.5 years minimum).

Although they're RA, they don't carry ABET; however they're cheaper than UNT's program - particularly if you carry a full course load each semester.
