Tesu computer science degree

You are still going to need a total of 30 RA credits since they cap how many alt credits they accept.

Plan on doing 9 credits at TESU. SOS-110, Capstone and Software Engeering. Then you need 15 credits of TECEP to avoid paying the residency fee. Finally, 6 more credits of TECEP or whatever RA credit.

Yes, they do cap alt credits. (They also cap community college credits.)

But alt credits and foreign credits are NOT the same thing at TESU. If you play your cards right, using a Finnish university or two, you can get all of your "RA credit" at a significantly lower cost than taking 5 TECEPs! 15 credits of TECEPs would be at least $750. For about the same price, you can block-purchase about 90 credits worth of studies at Metropolia. Or you can choose to do just some of them and not spend nearly so much.

TECEP's will give the OP residency, while foreign credits will not - so anything he saves from taking inexpensive foreign credits would be eaten up by the residency waiver.
