Will TESU take CIT modules for their CS program?

Of course, this is going to be more expensive than NAU, but it will certainly be faster and have fewer requirements.  I guess that's the tradeoff you're looking for.  I'd probably choose that as well.

It will be more expensive at TESU, but it is unlikely to be faster.

Assuming the OP applies to TESU, submits transcripts, and registers for the Cornerstone this week (will take a few days for the application to be approved and a month for the transcript to be evaluated), the earliest cornerstone they can register for is March 2019 term (reg dates 1/18-2/9 unless they pay for late registration for feb term, which ends 2/3), and the earliest Capstone they could register for would be April (pending on how long it takes for the transcripts to be evaluated, possibly March term if TESU is done before 3/3 and the OP pays the late registration fees). The OP can't register for the capstone earlier since TESU won't open the course for registration until they have transcripts in hand showing 100+ credits and most of the AOS complete. Either way, with a March or April capstone, the earliest graduation date they would qualify for would be September, which is 7.5 months away.

Given how fast people can get through courses at WGU (and I assume NAU is similar), and considering the OP already has knowledge of the retested courses, getting through the balance of 30 credits at either school shouldn't take more than 3 months at most. That is 4.5 months earlier. Even if they took 6 months, it would still be a 1.5 months earlier. My guess is they'd be done closer to 2 months given there are only a handful of new courses to be taken, the rest would be refresh.

I'd stick with NAU or transfer to WGU if speed or money is more important. If not repeating work is more important, then TESU is the best choice.

i dont think i'll go with WGU, last i heard - they won't accept international students or students living outside of the US.

i'm still comparing between NAU, or just knock off modules via SL/SDC and go with TESU. 

I'm not in a hurry to graduate. I was actually thinking of getting an associates via TESU but then decided against it as it seem costly (i think it's over $3k ?!)

Don't think I can find other places that would 'give' me an associates with all my credits completed. Can't go with Pierpont since I'm international.

I was thinking faster/easier in terms of only having a few courses to do, rather than graduation date.

My personal choice would be the CS degree at TESU because he only has 4-5 courses to complete, 3 of which will be very easy.  But that's just me.  I'm going to go for ease.

Also, I like the idea of a CS degree instead of a CIT degree.

The option to graduate with a CS degree as compared to a CIT degree has crossed my mind. 

from what I understand of graduate schools, if i was to move forward to do a Masters in Computer Sconce, they only want to see the modules that I have done (pre-req), as compared to the actual name of the degree. So I'm still good there.

But for employment wise, still not sure how this will work out for me.
