Thank you everyone for the resources and help. I really appreciate it and I am very glad I found this community. Apologies for replying so late, I was out of town.
I have been thinking about all these options. As of right now I am 90% decided on WGU Software Engineering. Based on the program courses, program name (which is quite important for TN Visa from what I gather) and my overall career trajectory + experience, it feels like this may be the best option for me, however, I am also looking at TESU like how everyone advised. I am also keeping Georgetown in mind, even if I do not go with it now, I may do their program in the future just because they are ranked much higher on the "best universities" lists I've been finding. My thinking right now is to get the paper ASAP, then later on I can beef up my resume with higher level institutions, when I can afford to have free time / no deadlines.
I will be moving in the upcoming weeks so until then I will be investigating these 3 universities and figuring things out. As for whatever challenging classes will come, I will take it 1 day at a time. I can definitely do it. Even though I was not the greatest student, I never failed a class and I don't intend to start now
.
I will update you on my progress later this year and at that time I can hopefully give some advice to new members. This is a very exciting (and a tiny bit scary) time for me. I can't believe I even have a chance at doing a master degree, not something I ever thought I could achieve in the past, if I am being honest. I always wanted to be a "master" at something in my life, this could (will!) come actually come true.
As a closing argument, I just want to say that I (and most likely many others like me) always have this imposter syndrome on my shoulders, even though I have knowledge and a certain type of thinking. Just need to remember I can do many things if I put my mind to it and don't give up.
Again, thank you all, I took everyone's advice quite seriously and will work to finish what I need to finish. I also very much appreciate the speedy answers. I may come back to ask some questions regarding identifying some courses, etc. but besides that, have a great day and week !
