Hey
Has everyone here completed or is currently doing the BS in construction from TESU. Would like to know what you transfered in from Sophia, study etc. I need help with degree planning. Also can someone give me an idea about how much it would cost for an international student.
Thanks in advance!

Do you have any credits already? TESU requires RA credits. If you don't have any of those, do you have a plan on where to take them? What's your budget?

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I already have a BLS from UMPI. So this will potentially be a second degree.
As for budget, I don't have a maximum. As long as it's a reasonable cost.

Yeah that's a big thing to leave out! It totally changes what you'll need to complete. What's a reasonable cost? $1500 per class?

TESU's construction degree requires 55 credits in the major and many are RA classes that have to be transferred in. Given that your general education and electives would be waived based on this being a second bachelor's degree, it seems like your transfer options are pretty limited.

You could also consider something like the SNHU Masters in Construction Management, if you already have experience in the industry - 36 credits at around $640/credit:

Another option is to get an affordable Masters at UMPI or WGU, HAU, etc, then also add an inexpensive grad cert in Construction Management. Or, if your Masters has a concentration in that subject, you're already good to go, you can decide what can be done and at what cost, energy, speed to finish...
