BS in CS plan for Masters in CS?
#11
For TESU, you only NEED 15 RA credits. For CS, it's easiest to do one 16-credit-term for the other necessary credits. You might want 18 credits, though, because at least 3 credits of the 16-credit-term would come from a pass/fail CIS-107 ePack.
In progress:
TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA

Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)
ASU: Human Origins, Astronomy, Intro Health & Wellness, Western Civilization, Computer Appls & Info Technology, Intro Programming
Strayer: CIS175, CIS111, WRK100, MAT210

I actually plan on doing at least 60 RA credits to make sure I will not face any problems in getting admitted to grad school. I'm not sure I'll go with TESU yet.

Also, in case anybody else is interested in getting into a B&M Master's with a degree that doesn't consist of 120 RA credits, these are the responses I received from some prestigious universities:

"Our most competitive candidates have a GPA based on all (or most) of their credits coming from graded courses in the institution not from transfer examinations."

"For the requirement of whether an applicant has a bachelor's degree or not, the makeup of the transcript is mostly immaterial-the Admissions team mainly wants to see that an applicant has a conferred bachelor's degree from an accredited institution."

"As long as the courses have been recognized as credit towards your degree by the degree-issuing institution, it is acceptable. "


"Any student with a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university is welcome to apply."


I am wondering though, if I finished the degree in a year, wouldn't this raise a red flag for the grad admissions?

No, it should be fine. A WGU degree can be obtained in 6 months by qualified American students. Except for cases where a specific GPA is required, this doesn't seem to hinder their ability to continue on to grad school, when desired.
