Computer Degree Suggestions at any of the Big 3?

Here's a link to my latest BACS plan for TESU. It uses mostly Study.com and doesn't include the GenEd portion. You can use the GenEd part from any of the TESU degree plans.

BACS plan

your plan shows a cost of $9,297 
3 terms (18 months) at WGU would be $10,560 ----- $1,263 more
2 terms (12 months) at WGU would be $7,040 ----- $2,257 less

this is not including WGU application fee because they seem to have a sale at least once a month where they waive the application fee 

also does not include graduation fee because I don't know if they have one 

also doesn't include the cost of doing outside credits -- so if you do a bunch of study.com courses and then transfer them in to WGU I'm not sure if that saves any money since WGU still charges $3520 per 6 month term regardless of the number of courses you do there
(I think if you're positive you could complete your degree at WGU in 2 terms then you could transfer in 22 courses at study.com at a cost of $2,200 and then add 2 terms of tuition at WGU at a cost of $7,040 for a total of $9,240 and still come out slightly cheaper than TESU)

not saying anyone choice is better than the other -- just wondering if my math and assumptions are correct

I would never tell someone to spend 3 terms at WGU, that's way too expensive.  I say if you can bring in credits and go quickly, then 1 term - 2 terms MAX, and even then, I'd probably suggest that you're not quite ready to do WGU, and you're going at a slower pace than WGU requires (if you want to go fast).  The best thing to do is spend 6 months trying to load up on credits.  If you can do at least 30cr-60cr in those 6 months (and hopefully more), then you're probably ok to switch to WGU at 60-90cr.  If you can't get 30cr done in that time period, then you probably can't get your WGU credits done in 1 term, so you're better off doing something else, or waiting.
