TESU's IT degree cannot be done via Alt-credit; I would suggest WGU instead.

I thought about WGU but decided on TESU since im in NJ. Still, I might give WGU a second look. Are there any Chem/Phys labs 1 and 2 that work for the TESU degree? Maybe Sophia's new courses?

You could take Study.com's

• Physics 111: Physics I
  
• Physics 112: Physics II
  

And then take your Physics Labs at TESU or take the Physics I lab at SL and the Physics II lab at TESU

You could take Straighterline's

• Physics I
  
• Physics I Lab
  

And then take Physics II at SDC, then the Physics II lab at TESU

Just depends on whether you like SL or prefer SDC as to which you choose.

But the main issue at TESU is not the science w/labs (although it's a hurdle); your main problem is the major courses - they take almost nothing alt-credit wise for the major, so you have to take everything through TESU, which is a very expensive proposition; I think it makes the degree close to $20k, which is not worth it IMHO.  I'd go elsewhere for sure.  They're just not a good enough school to fork out that kind of cash.

Thank you for the science class options! With my degree plan I have 9 (8 with the science options) classes total I'd have to take at TESU. Factoring in 2 terms at the flat rate (in state) I'm somewhere in the $7-9k range with grad fees. Since I'd need to take 9 classes that should also waive the residency fee. To me it sounds reasonable unless im missing a big "gotcha" somewhere?

Josh Madakor's original plan for the IT TESU degree was around 20k to complete. You now have a much better plan. 

You are correct that it would come to around 9k with two 3-month terms at TESU, which is reasonable.

Considering a butt-in-seat college might take 50k and five years to do, that is a lot of savings in both time and money.
