Mind reviewing my degree plan? TESU BSBA Acct/CIS

[dfrecore]

If you like the TESU degree and since you have the tuition reimbursement, why not load up on ACE/third party credit sources and in the short term and take a flat-rate TESU term in late 2023 and another in 2024?  You could get plenty of graded credits, wouldn’t have to pay the waiver out of pocket, and could definitely graduate by mid 2024.

Dfrecore, why would the TESU degree have to cost a lot more than UMPI?  

OP could take 3 sessions per year at UMPI and have that paid for with the tuition reimbursement or 4 sessions and pay $350 out of pocket. They could start in Summer 2023 and as long as they graduated by summer 2024, it would cost them, at most, $700 for the UMPI degree. 

With the tuition reimbursement from work, OP would have to pay the cost of the ACE/3rd party credit providers. Likely would be more than $350 or even $700, but not thousands more or anything.  But most people end up loading up on ACE credits before UMPI, so that would seem to be largely a wash.

I was thinking that 2 heavy 12-week terms would be a lot, OP has stated that she thinks "life will happen" during this time; so that would mean that she would need to get 24cr of RA + 60cr of ACE, and 15cr of UL for each AoS (so 30cr of UL total); this is going to be 5 months of Study.com for $1000, or even more if she wants to use Coopersmith or something like that.  RA credit is going to cost more than ACE.  Then there's the Residency Waiver of $3200, which will go up next July.

I just think that TESU is going to cost more, and take far longer, than UMPI.  Yes, probably thousands more OOP.

2 months at Sophia to complete 60cr ($200), and then jumping straight into UMPI for a term seems like a better option.  I think it will go much faster, and the sooner you jump in, the sooner you finish the degree.
