Outlier : Associate (GGU) or Credit Course (Uni Pittsburgh)

[tuckerarabi786]

Some Nice Advises.
I am noting all down..
As my plan is to start whatever route i decide by Jan'23..

I like this route also GGU Associate --> TESU... But instead of TESU.. Can you suggest any other university probably in Top 100, that may accept GGU Associate?

What kind of bachelor's major are you looking for? 

And what will you be prioritizing: speed, price, flexibility, etc? Does is have to be online?

One option would be ASU which, US News is ranked #121 nationally, #56 for public, #33 for undergrad engineering. Their online offerings are pretty good and you can earn your way in to admittance through the ASU ULC courses which are now actually cheaper the Outlier/GGU/Degree+.

I am planning to do Bachelors in Computer Science or Information Technology (Cloud or Networking)

Speed + Flexibility is my priority.... Price i can afford, depending on University...   Online is better - yes.. 
I was thinking to do Associate from any reputed University, and during that phase, I may decide with the University to continue On-Campus or Online BSc.
As i have Wife + Kids, so i need to plan my cash-flow etc, to Immigrate... IF i get an employment opportunity. But right now i feel 2023 is a time where many Job Lay-Offs might occur....

ASU no doubt is a good university, I was thinking to continue there for BSc.

Now the option you have shared, another option similar to this is also University of Pittsburg, little better ranking than ASU.

But someone above mentioned, its better to do Associates (if with GGU - as it will have a value being a student of GGU) - than rather just doing credit courses.

I think you definitely need to figure out what your end goal is and work backwards from there because there can be some pretty big differences between CS and IT degrees, particularly at "well ranked schools." For example, at ASU, the BSCS is treated like a full engineering degree with a lot of higher level math, but they also have a lot of other IT/applied computing degrees with less math/theory/rigor, but they're also not from the well ranked engineering college at ASU.

You are correct.

The reason i thought to this Applied Computing from GGU, as it also has good maths coverage, So it might help ?
And the other reason was GGU, is surrounded by many IT companies, and just some few KMs away we have Silicon Valley.. 
Well again, there are other good Universities too also, no doubt.. 
I was just looking for a solution to at-least start from somewhere...

I am planning to email around TOP 300 or TOP 500 universities this weekend probably...

But currently i have this in my mind

Do Associate Applied Computing from GGU  and than transfer to GGU itself on campus  OR transfer to any other university and continue the BSc journey with any TOP 300 university...

OR Enroll to any BSc program from beginning itself.. and my plan is only to select TOP 300 university only.. better preference is TOP 100....
As many Countries are also welcoming students that have studied with TOP 30 ranked uni for example...  it's costly yes... but one can have a better profile...

I am still exploring options... cause whatever the case.. the plan is to start studying from Jan'23 onwards...

Please do always share other options .... so i do not miss any golden option better than GGU ....

Has anyone enrolled or is planning to do so.
