Considering the transfer change at TESU..I need help

For TESU, you can see how to get a degree here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...ts_Roadmap This should cover most of your questions regarding TESU.

UMPI is an accredited 4-year institution. They simply have a competency-based program that allows you to take as many classes as you are able to for one flat fee (roughly $700 per month). They can be much faster and cheaper than TESU. They do require 30 credits to be taken from them but this is something that can probably be done by most people in 6-8 months.

Approximate costs:
UMPI: 
$0395 - 5 months @ Sophia.org
$5600 - 8 months at UMPI 
-------
$5995

TESU:
$0395 - 5 months @ Sophia.org
$1600 - 24 credits @ TEL Learning 
$1000 - 5 months @ SDC
$3114 - capstone/cornerstone @ TESU
$3192 - residency waiver
--------
$9301

Your cost for Sophia will likely be lower; it all depends on how quickly you are able to complete English Comp I & II. These can have long grading times. Either way, in general, UMPI should be both faster and cheaper than TESU. 

What I would do would be to sign up for Sophia and go through the lessons as quickly as possible. If you are able to complete everything in 3-4 months, you should be good to go for UMPI. If you decide that this pace doesn't work for you and that you'd rather go with TESU, you may have to duplicate some of your credits by taking the RA versions but it won't really cost you any extra time/money (beyond what TESU already costs) for doing so.
