WGU Disadvantages over TESU
- Doesn't accept international students
- No grades. This might be a factor if planning on doing master's, etc, at a competitive college.
- All-or-nothing exams (some don't like that)
- More rigorous overall (though not by a lot but something to consider. Discrete Math II, Data Structures II, Software I/II)
- Timewise takes a bit longer than TESU to do due to the extra rigor (1-3 months)
- 8 required courses to do at WGU versus 2 at TESU (or 1 course if you do SOS-110 at edX for CS degree)
- Strict on transferring old credits (5+ years)
- One degree you get versus multiple degrees possible at TESU, which adds a lot of value for TESU
- No customization of degree. With TESU, you have 30 Free electives and lots of choices in GE.
That being said, WGU is a great school. It's just not for everybody. I have seen people try WGU, then quit looking for other options.
People that do great on exams and have industry experience. WGU is perfect for these types of people.
Since you already have 58 credits, hopefully, the BA in Computer Science will use up most of those credits. There are 30 free electives for that degree.
If you do Business Administration with whatever concentration, then you could get the Associate in Computer Science for free without having to do additional courses depending on what transfers.
