Budget: I have a max of $14K saved up.  I'd like to go the cheapest route possible but will consider spending more for easy and fast.  
Commitments: Honestly, just kids/spouse and my pets I have been a stay-at-home dad since COVID, kids are heading to elementary school this year so, it’s time to get back into the working world.
Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as is needed during the night or weekends as long as my schedule is free. I am currently studying for 7ish hours mon-fri. However, this summer will be busy, and I am expecting to miss at least a whole month.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.  I would like to finish within 12 months
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No
 
I am better at and prefer testing over assignments. I have a little anxiety when it comes to written projects. If my research is correct, I believe I need 30 RA credits to graduate but the plan CS plan I am following from the WIKI page only has me taking 5 courses from TESU. So, I have the following questions.
 
I am curious as to which of my remaining classes should be taken at TESU to finish as quickly as possible, and which of these should I completely avoid taking at TESU.
 
Will the new Sophia intro to psych course, Microeconomics course, and SDC POL SCI 102 have any negative impact since I most likely won’t utilize them anywhere other than LL Elective?
 
I haven’t registered for anything at TESU, I am hoping to have all my ducks in a row before I send any transcripts over. I would appreciate any advice or tips to help me move forward.
 
It feels like I am getting very close, this forum has given me a ton of insight and direction. I appreciate all the details and support from everyone that has gone or is going down this path with me. 

TESU emailed me a code to waive the admission's application fee. I have previously applied, but did not attend, TESU. I don't know if the code is one time use or can be used many times. The code is UG24. 

I was just emailed this offer from TESU but the link appears open to everyone. Here is the exact email I received with the addition of the web address of the two hyperlinks within the email that were lost in copy and paste. I have previously applied to TESU but did not attend. I hope this helps someone.

I'm transferring into the TESU BSCS Program from WGU Associates Pilot Program. 
I'd like to complete my degree by the end of summer, I have all the time, resources and money.
Please review my current credits, certifications and questions and guide me in the wisest direction.


Background Information:
10 years of Cybersecurity experience, 6 of which was Active duty, I will be transitioning out to reserves in July.
I have 45 credits in house with WGU (includes JST and Naval Classes) but TESU seems to only be taking 31 total transfer credits.

• JST: 44 credits
  
• WGU: 25 Credits
  
• Certifications: A+, Net+, Sec+, CySA+, CASP+, CEH, CND-A, GCIH
  
• Sophia Classes: HIST I & II, Intro to Web, Intro to Psych, College Algebra, Intro to Statistics
  
  

1. From what i currently have, how many transfer credits could i reasonably expect to have going into TESU?
   (Being that sometimes their evaluation of credits is a little "wonky" and you have to work directly with then to allocate them into the correct spots)
   
2. Based upon the current certifications, credits and work experience what program (TESU or WGU) would you recommend to achieve my goal in a timely manner?
   
3. Finally, how would you do it?
   

• Get my Transcript evaluated correctly.
  
• Take as many Sophia classes that transfer into WGU or TESU, max out the transfer credits.
  
• Complete any classes they throw at me.
  

Hi,

Anyone know of a fairly cheap Paralegal certificate?


THANX!!!

I’m finishing up my BBA with UT, and looking to do the self-paced MBA at UMASS Global, but can hardly find any info on it, has anyone attended so I can ask some questions? Thank you!

Hello Everyone, It's already 5th month of the year.. What are your travel this year? For me, I am planning to Visit Egypt, Did anybody recently visited there? What are you recommended destination and any heads up on what to and not to do there? Your advices would be really appreciated!

Hmm, just reading something on the net and randomly came to this, when I was looking up dyslexia, etc.  It lists a few different types of Neurodivergent symptoms.  I feel I should learn more about these as I have at least one or more to embrace and understand myself better, work on my mental and physical health as well...
 
Link: Neurodivergent: Neurodivergent: What It Is, Symptoms & Types (clevelandclinic.org)

BTW, anyone complete any online exams that will test any of these? Have recommendations?  Looking for ADHD, Autism, and a few others in the list above, just a 'simple' online test if there are any.  Example, for Autism, I read these two may be one of the better options available out of many.

AQ: Autism Spectrum Quotient | Embrace Autism (embrace-autism.com)

Side note: Don't be afraid or ashamed if you have one or more of these conditions or traits, you're not alone.  There are resources available to help adults, children, youth, and seniors.

WGU is now offering up to two individual for-credit courses per eligible student for $99 per course, and up to one Course Bundle (consisting of two courses) per eligible student for $199 (or $299 in the case of the Information Technology Course Bundle, which comes with a certification; third-party certifications connected to an individual course may bear an additional cost). These are not eligible for federal financial aid.
