Your Location: Florida
Your Age: 21
What kind of degree do you want?: Computer Science
Current Regional Accredited Credits: ~50
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0
Any certifications or military experience?: No
Budget: FASFA approved
Commitments: At least 4-5 hours per day.
Timeline: 6 to 18 months
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: FASFA Approved
Hi everyone!, I'm having such a hard time picking between WGU and TESU for their respective computer science degrees. To me, each of them have their own pros and cons.
TESU Pros -
• I already have college credits that I can transfer in
• The degree doesn't require as much math as WGU
• TESU is a public university.
• Degree could be completed quicker
TESU Cons -
• The diploma itself only says "Bachelors of arts" leaving out any mention of computer science (this kind of just rubs me the wrong way).
• No certifications included in the program.
• I'm concerned with how employers would perceive a "Bachelor in Arts" CS degree.
WGU pros -
• Certifications included (really nice since FASFA would be covering the terms for me)
• ABET accredited
• The diploma states "Computer Science".
WGU Cons -
• Degree requires Discrete Math II (I'm worried about this class to be honest)
• I'm also worried about the credibility of the school in the years to come (I don't believe that WGU is a degree mill at all, I'm just worried about other peoples perceptions).
I would really love to hear all of your guys' thoughts and opinions!

The PUG Analytics plan guide on the Wiki is very helpful and I'm very grateful!
There are some classes that are not listed as having alternative options: IN300, IN301, IN400, IN401, IN402, MM325, and of course IN498 which is the Capstone.
However, there are also a number of specializations, and the wiki doesn't seem to notice them. Are these optional? Whether so or if not, I'd be curious for alternatives for them!
If someone has any info, or could guide me on how to find out for myself, I'd be extremely appreciative.
Best,
Nick

ACE recommended for 3 upper-level credits starting June 1 this year, and live online now.
18 challenges, 4 milestones, no final milestone. 3 touchstones: a 750-100 word essay, an 8-12 slide show with speaker notes, and an 8-10 page strategic improvement plan for a suburban primary care clinic described in a case study.

Hi all!
I realised an assumption I made may not be correct. The assumption was it would be obvious on what would count as a elective for the BACS, however it dawned on me that this may not be the case.
So is it anything that starts with ITS, COS, CIS, CYB, CLD counts for CS Electives in the BACS, with the 100 and 200 being LL and 300+ being UL?
Thanks!
