Isn't WGU a no brainer choice for CS Bachelor? Why did so many people choose TESU?
#25
WGU Disadvantages over TESU
- Doesn't accept international students
- No grades. This might be a factor if planning on doing master's, etc, at a competitive college.
- All-or-nothing exams (some don't like that)
- More rigorous overall (though not by a lot but something to consider. Discrete Math II, Data Structures II, Software I/II)
- Timewise takes a bit longer than TESU to do due to the extra rigor (1-3 months)
- 8 required courses to do at WGU versus 2 at TESU
- Strict on transferring old credits (5+ years)
- One degree you get versus multiple degrees possible at TESU which adds a lot of value for TESU
- No customization of degree. With TESU, you have 30 Free electives and lots of choices in GE.

That being said WGU is a great college with a solid reputation in the job market.

You can get a good estimate if you got what it takes to finish WGU in one term based on how fast you do some of the rigorous technical courses such as Discrete Math, Calculus, Intro Programming, Data Structures, and Computer Arch.

If you can do 7 courses in 6 months, then you get a month's extension to finish the capstone.
