Your Location: Slovakia
Your Age: 42
What kind of degree do you want?: BACS or BSTS?
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 134.5 + 9? see below (only C and better courses)
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
Any certifications or military experience?:NA
Budget: $7000 this could be more once I will start job however I will have less time to study
Commitments: fulltime job in 3months,
Dedicated time to study: next 3 months full time student afterwards 15-20 hours a week.
Timeline:4-6 months finishing most of the needed courses asap
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: NA
Some background, I have studied abroad (Europe - EU) and have already my WES transcript at hand, see courses below (only C and better). I have applied to TESU and sent transcript from WES already for evaluation. I have already taken 3 courses via TEL education: College Algebra, Introduction to IT, Music appreciation so I have 9 credits from MID-American Christian University and want to use them to waive TOEFL requirement for international students.
I have studied SW engineering at Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology so I have Engineering and CS courses, however I am missing a lot of general education courses. I am aware that I need to take English COMP I+II, Public Speaking, and probably American Gov. + American History I at least. I would like to ask what would be fastest way to achieve BACS (or BSTS)?. From what I see at TESU site BACS would need additional Data Structures and BSTS Introduction to Statistics and Project Management, besides other courses that I am not aware of now (awaiting evaluation). What would be the best approach to take missing general education courses which provider should I use and what are the effortless options for them.
My aim is to finish one Bachelor's degree and go for Masters in Cybersecurity at TESU (not sure if someone has experience with this one). I am currently working in cybersecurity. After finishing Masters degree I might want to go back to finish second Bachelor's degree if it is worth the effort.
Some more background:
I like Math and Science. For me it is very tedious to learn something like Music appreciation/Philosophy, however I have very good memory and can get through it if needed (my morale is suffering however). I like TEL education approach with lot of tests/quizzes. I don't mind proctored test however it is nice perk if it is not needed. I am very detailed oriented so writing is taking me ages ( it needs to be perfect ...).
Thank you for your help.

Your Location: canada
Your Age: 30
What kind of degree do you want?: BA math/CS and BS data science and analytics
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 40 credits from a 4 year university in canada (applied mathematics) 15 credits from community college in Massachusetts US. HS diploma from Massachusetts as well.
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: none, planning to take the maximum I can
Any certifications or military experience?: none
Budget: preferably 1 term at TESU @ max credits (15 cr) so I don't have to pay the residency fee
Commitments: none
Dedicated time to study: full time
Timeline: 6 months
I just applied to TESU and will send them both my transcripts once accepted, my main goal is to graduate within 1 term so I dont have to pay for another, is that possible with the degree I chose? I saw many double degree vs double major and from what I understood, its possible to get two degrees that both have double majors. Plus two associates that each have double majors as well. Is that something possible in 1 term or they will not allow it.
I will make a spreadsheet and list all the ACE credits that will be accepted once I get my transcripts evaluated. Will they accept Canadian transcripts or I need to send them to WES?

They're asking me for a referral at Walden so if you graduated from Walden within the past five years hit me up PM Me.
If you graduated from walden and want to pm me your name and email address I will see if I can use that to get a little money knocked off my fees lol. Thanks!!

| TESU - Easy RA Credits |

I'm back!! Thanks for all the help and guidance on this forum, its very helpful.
I saw a post where someone is looking to complete a Associate at TESU while doing the Bachelor in the future. I am thinking of doing a similar thing. I don't have RA credits so I would need 15 RA credits for the Associate and 30 for the bachelors.
I'm looking for guidance on how to obtain these. I've been looking at TECEPs, TEL, and UMPI. My game plan was to get all the harder classes in and complete the LL or somewhat easier classes at TESU. (Does that make sense?). For better understanding here's the remaining courses I need. I might be missing one.
English Composition I
English Composition II
COM-2090 Public Speaking
SOC-1010: Introduction to Sociology
Introduction to Psychology
SOS-110 Information Literacy
BUS-421 Business Administration Capstone
PHI-130 Introduction to Critical Reasoning - Transfer but I should take this for RA
GOG-230 World Geography - Maybe I could take this.
If anyone knows of a way to get RA credits fast, I am open to suggestions. Since most of these could also be completed at Sophia. Or should I stick to my original plan and complete these classes at TESU
