Hi everyone!, I'm having such a hard time picking between WGU and TESU for their respective computer science degrees. To me, each of them have their own pros and cons.
TESU Pros -
• I already have college credits that I can transfer in
• The degree doesn't require as much math as WGU
• TESU is a public university.
• Degree could be completed quicker
TESU Cons -
• The diploma itself only says "Bachelors of arts" leaving out any mention of computer science (this kind of just rubs me the wrong way).
• No certifications included in the program.
• I'm concerned with how employers would perceive a "Bachelor in Arts" CS degree.
WGU pros -
• Certifications included (really nice since FASFA would be covering the terms for me)
• ABET accredited
• The diploma states "Computer Science".
WGU Cons -
• Degree requires Discrete Math II (I'm worried about this class to be honest)
• I'm also worried about the credibility of the school in the years to come (I don't believe that WGU is a degree mill at all, I'm just worried about other peoples perceptions).
I would really love to hear all of your guys' thoughts and opinions!
