Any Gotchas Going from a BS with the Big Three to WGU for a Masters?

TESU has a BSBA degree, much of which is not accounting or finance.  You might just want to get a BALS instead, where there is space for IT and/or Business courses.

Many WGU degrees have a decent sized list of courses that are required to be taken at WGU, not even other RA credit is acceptable.  SO, be definition, they require RA credit in some (always upper level) courses, their own. WGU is alt-credit friendly to be sure, but you can’t generalize and say what your second sentence does.

That is a ridiculous thing to say.  The OP was not asking about WGU bachelor's degrees; and since WGU requires 30cr to be taken through them, obviously you'll end up with RA credit.  But you don't have to bring in RA credit.

But they were specifically asking if they could take things like Stats and College Algebra via alt-credit, and so yes, they can.  WGU accepts alt-credit for those courses in all of their bachelor's degrees, so thinking they're suddenly going to require RA credit for those is silly.
