I'm transferring into the TESU BSCS Program from WGU Associates Pilot Program.

My Questions:
- From what i currently have, how many transfer credits could i reasonably expect to have going into TESU?
(Being that sometimes their evaluation of credits is a little "wonky" and you have to work directly with then to allocate them into the correct spots)
- Based upon the current certifications, credits and work experience what program (TESU or WGU) would you recommend to achieve my goal in a timely manner?
- Finally, how would you do it?
- Get my Transcript evaluated correctly.
- Take as many Sophia classes that transfer into WGU or TESU, max out the transfer credits.
- Complete any classes they throw at me.

In addition to that... The main questions remain, are you Active duty and will you be getting the Military tuition rates at TESU or WGU? I also suggest you to create a spreadsheet for the BSCS at WGU and place all transferable credits into that plan, along with the classes you've taken. Then create a side by side comparison with another spreadsheet for the BACS at TESU, you'll see which route to go as it may be better one way or the other.
