BA Computer Science Questions

[turbotortuga]

I took 6 courses with TESU.

The rigor of TESU is evident in the challenging exams.

One person on DF recently took COS-3300 Computer Architecture and failed due to not studying enough for the exam and the difficult material. That list you have includes many demanding courses, and combining multiple challenging courses in a single term could set you up for failure.

The way to get a high GPA at TESU is to cherry-pick the easiest courses with no exams or exams that account for very little of the overall GPA.

When you start at TESU, you see all the writing assignments and forum requirements for the entire course, allowing you to work ahead. You could also read the book before the term starts. The exams have a fixed date range, so you have to wait until they open up to take them.

Why on earth would you want to take so many courses at TESU? That's a lot of extra time and money compared to doing Sophia and Study.com.

Why are you planning on taking so many courses at TESU? That will cost some serious $$$$ and take a long time. It won't be like UMPI as TESU is not a CBE program. For the time and money, you may as well go to SNHU, PUG, or CSU Global.

I would like to apply to graduate programs through a Bachelor in Computer Science with at least 45 RA credits.
ACE credits may not meet the requirements of some graduate schools.
I am applying to both TESU & SNHU's Bachelor in Computer Science programs.

Advantages of TESU:
1. Cheaper compared to SNHU.
2. More flexible to transfer credits, I have transferred in over 70 credits.
Cons of TESU:
1. Probably harder courses.
2. Requires a lot of exams.

Pros of SNHU:
1. No exams, may be able to graduate with a high GPA.
Cons of SNHU:
1. More difficult to transfer credits, I only transferred in 30+ credits. I still need to finish some credits on Sophia or Study or I won't be able to graduate in one year.
2. I can't get an associate degree in math at the same time.
3. The price is higher.
4. There is some controversy surrounding this school and i am not sure if there will be some negative repercussions.

WGU:
Since it doesn't have a numerical GPA, I didn't consider it.

I'm not sure what Graduate Schools you are looking at but if you just did WGU for one term for BS in Computer Science/IT and then did the OMCS at Georgia Tech, you'd get all the rigor you have ever wanted from them.
