TESU Bachelor to Masters Program Plan Cheap and Fast?
#10
I participated in the Cybersecurity BTM program before I switched over to BSIT. While BTM does make TESU's programs more attractive, other schools still have better Master's offers.  
On this board, we generally advise people to take as few courses at TESU as possible. That's because TESU's courses are expensive, slow, very time/effort consuming, and of mixed quality. Doing more stuff at TESU will skyrocket your costs, timeframe, and frustration. Many degreeforum users aim to take only the cornerstone and capstone at TESU! For some of the more popular programs like BSBA or BALS, there are tons of cheap and fast transfer and alt-credit options, eliminating the need to take anything else at TESU. In those cases, BTM doesn't make sense. For other more niche degree programs without sufficient credit options, there may be some room for BTM courses. IMO, if you plan to take some courses at TESU and can handle the academic load, taking the BTM courses isn't a bad idea. The grad versions of the courses step up the content, assignments, and thinking a notch or two but are still very manageable. 
Note that you need to establish a GPA at TESU and have your degree mostly complete before you can even apply to BTM. You'd need to take a first term with at least the cornerstone, wait for final grades to be posted, apply to BTM, and wait for your BTM acceptance before you can start taking BTM courses. Moving through those steps is going to take a long time, really bumping out your timeframe.   
Advising is unlikely to let you load up with many different graduate courses at once. In TESU's regular graduate programs, students are only expected to take two simultaneous courses.  
Do you really want to complete a graduate degree at TESU? Unlike many of the other options out there, TESU's grad degrees are expensive, inflexible, and slow. Graduate-level credits earned in and applied to an undergraduate program might not be accepted to an external Master's program. If you want to position yourself for an MBA, it might be better to just bang out a quick and cheap undergrad now instead of worrying about grad stuff just yet.
