Atabasca University for TESU UL CS courses?

[TrailRunr]

Atabasca Univeristy is an online school that is regionally accredited in the US by the MSCHE, so we are good there even though it is in Canada.

I saw past postings, but nobody said if it was Canadian dollars or not. But that may have been when the CAD was at parity with the USD. The CAD has depreciated a lot versus the USD. The cost is CAD$1014, which is around US$770. That is about half the price of a TESU course under PCTP. We are short 3 courses for TESU CS UL and 1 capstone outside of the MIS DSST and CSU-G Sys Analysis CBE. So the savings is around $1400 after paying for 7 passed TECEPs (it's like getting paid $200 for each TECEP you pass). If you are going Enrolled Options, the cost is similar for each school.

Register by April 10 to start by May 1

Here are courses that might be UL based upon my interpretation of what counted as LL and UL CS in the PLA database:

CMIS 351 - Management Information Systems (take the MIS DSST instead for less $$$)
CMIS 455 - Accounting Information Systems
COMP 314 - Operating Systems
COMP 361 - Systems Analysis and Design (take the CSU-G CBE instead for less $$$)
COMP 372 - Design and Analysis of Algorithms
COMP 378 - Introduction to Database Management
COMP 382 - 3D Programming in Java
COMP 390 - Computer Graphics
COMP 393 - Advanced Graphics with Shaders
COMP 410 - Software Engineering
COMP 418 - Distributed Database Systems and Database Tuning
COMP 444 - Embedded/Robotic Programming

COMP 503 - IT Hardware and Software (this looks like a Computer Architecture course)
COMP 504 - Object Structure and Programming
COMP 602 - Enterprise Information Management
COMP 604 - Enterprise Computer Networks
COMP 610 - Software Engineering
COMP 617 - Designing Real-time Software

Athabasca U does not accept DSST exams or Clep exams. They are very slow in evaluations. Very slow. They are not as generous is granting upper level as I thought. They also require course outlines for ever course they do not grant upper level too. It's painful. I had a friend apply and it's been nothing but stress and heart ache for her. The premise of this school is great. Getting it done is another question.

This is for outbound transfer of credits to TESU. I couldn't care less about inbound credits. But now I know I shouldn't bother to get a degree from them.

Bump to see if anyone has considered this option for UL CS transfer credits.
