TESU BACS HELP!!

[dfrecore]

So I'm a bit confused with some grammatical/spelling errors and length, but I missed if you're trying to get your CS degree from TESU or just a BALS?

Also, when looking at which school you want to go to, you should always look forwards instead of backwards. Backwards is "what did I get for the credits I brought in?" and forwards is "how much will it cost and how long will it take to complete my degree?" So remember to do that when looking at degree plans.

Now, I'm not sure if you understand how WGU works, since you mentioned 1-2 years, but you can finish in less than 6 months if you know the material. If you don't, it may take longer. TESU will take a full month to evaluate your credits, and then it will take at least 12 weeks to do your cornerstone and capstone courses, plus the time it takes to do the graduation audit, and then the graduation date...so it will probably be at least 6 months if not longer. But, I don't think there's a hard cutoff date, it's just your goal, so nothing terrible happens if you graduate in March of next year instead of December of this year.

For both schools, you need to see where all of your courses come in, and then what you have left to take. You can use any course provider to finish your courses.

For the Pell Grant, I think I've read that you won't get the full grant since you won't be considered a full-time student at TESU if you're only taking 6cr? Not certain of that. Then, on top of the $2800 residency waiver that's not covered by the Pell Grant (I don't think), you're looking at more out of pocket than WGU would be I think. I'm not an expert on Financial Aid, so I would look at including those costs into your degree plans.
