Getting around the 50% requirement for non-degree seeking students?(undergrad certs)

379x12 = 4548, a term at WGU is 3370 - it maybe cheaper, however, you don't know if you can get all the credits done in 1 term...  decisions, decisions...
Have you thought about the Bachelors to Masters option? Use the 12 residency for grad credits instead or to get a grad cert?
Makes sense. I'm going to be transferring in around the max (90 credits) to WGU and I've been getting my certs covered by work, and an absurd amount of free/cheap courses ever since covid started so I'm not worried about accelerating through my last 30 credits in one term when I start around dec-jan.

My career/educational path pivoted since I originally attended TESU from engineering technology to IT/Cyber so I think WGU will be the overall better choice for me there.

I have other ideas for my masters and they don't involve TESU. I was just thinking it would be cool to get a few cheap certificates out of TESU but it's not worth the residency requirements or the waiver fee.

Your input is always appreciated BJ!
