In 2004 I got a BA in Psychology from TESU. I used CLEP/DANTES/ECE for about 40 credits. The rest were a mix of different schools, online, on-campus, etc.
Graduated with I think around a 3.3. Applied to Georgia Tech's 2-yr on campus MBA program with a 640 GMAT in 2004 and was accepted. Graduated in 2007.
Went back to TESU last year to get a second BA in Computer Science. For the 24 new hours needed I did a combination of ECE, CLEP, Study.com, and Data Structures
through Iowa State Univ online and finally the capstone at TESU. Not sure my GPA, not more than 3.5 total across everything, probably closer to 3.3.
I applied late last year to Univ of Illinois Springfield (unranked program) online M.S. in Computer Science. Was accepted. Taking two classes there now.
I also applied for Summer 2020 to Univ of Illinois Urbana Champaign's (Top 5 CS program) online Master in Computer Science and just found out I was accepted. Waiting to see if
the two courses from Springfield will transfer and if so I'll transfer over to that program.
Have a good story to tell, get some good work experience, and don't let the name of your bachelor's diploma make you think you can't get into a good grad school.
Did you have to take a second capstone at TESU? I have a BSBA from there, and I'm thinking about trying to get a second in Mathematics or CS from TESU or Charter Oak, but I don't want to have to pay several thousand for another capstone.
