Need help gen ed classes

[dfrecore]

Although the spreadsheet doesn't exactly cover everything (almost everything marked CSU is not available through CSU-Global at all), this is definitely not a degree you want to get at TESU if you don't already have a bunch of the courses through another means. 5 of the AOS courses (Computer Architecture, Data Structures, Operating Systems, Database Management, and Software Engineering) are not available through testing out, which means if you don't have them already, they are going to be very expensive to take. Then, you have to take the Capstone (Current Trends & Applications) for another $1500. Plus the $2000 residency waiver, and you are looking at $12-$15k for this degree.

If I were you, I would seriously consider the WGU-BSIT (as bjcheung advised). You can also test out of a lot of the Gen Ed courses there - although you have to be careful and test out BEFORE you enroll there. If you try to test out after enrolling, you're out of luck. So, I would look at testing out as cheaply as possible there, and then enroll and finish your degree (the IT portion). It will be MUCH cheaper to do this. They accept many of the same credits as the Big 3 do - CLEP, DSST, SL, Saylor - anything ACE-Approved. They also accept certifications if you have any. And you come out of the degree with certifications as well.
