One semester (6 months) of WGU is $3,920; one term (3 months) of TESU is $4,639.
WGU is only pass-fail and therefore I won't be able to list my GPA
TESU is not pass fail and therefore I'll be able to list a (hopefully) good GPA
TESU allows for a second bachelors without much more work.
Do you think I could do the capstones and cornerstone for two degrees in one 3 month term? I could probably put in 30-40 hours per week.
Nobody here has yet done 2 capstones in one term but it is possible. Each capstone is around 80hrs of work give or take 20hrs and the cornerstone is around 40 hours.
Are the capstones assigned by TESU, or created by the student? If the capstone isn't completed in a given semester, does it roll over to the next semester or does the student fail the class and have that on their transcript?
Since it's a course, the capstone won't roll over, but you could request a course extension. You'll get a final grade (A to F) whether or not the capstone is "completed." You need a C or higher (or a Pass) in every AOS course (including the capstone) to graduate.
At least for the liberal arts capstone, you choose the topic.
