TESU Equivalents

[defmo]

i am not a green card holder yet. which means Pierpont BOG AAS is not an option for me. also, i was leaning towards TESU because of the possibility of a Masters later, either from TESU itself or Rutgers? i saw someone say they were approved at Rutgers for one. I can use TECEPs for most RA credits, right? I am very comfortable with both Sophia and CLEP, so mostly will use those two and the rest through TECEPs. Any help is appreciated.

A TESU Master's degree is way too expensive for what it is. There are better schools that are cheaper, check the graduate section of this forum for suggestions.

And, if you want to get into Rutgers, a UMPI degree is probably a better choice. Why? More graded credits, so that part of your application will look better. But the acceptance rate into Rutgers appears to be somewhere between 60-70%, so even a perfect application may not succeed. Best to have a few choices lined up.

what i meant is that i need to keep choices open for masters later. why does  UMPI bachelors have more graded credits? can't i do the same as TESU and test out of +95% of my classes? because i don't have the energy for a lot of classes when i can just take a CLEP/Sophia etc... to rephrase this, I need a bachelors degree with only a few  mandatory classes. I want to do as many tests as i can.
