Especially if you're not interested in SNHU. As bjcheung77 sort of indicated, many grad programs don't require graded credits. Pass/fail grades (such as from Sophia or Study.com) are often fine. If they weren't, WGU graduates could never go on to get a graduate degree: WGU credits are entirely pass/fail with no grades. Also, if the school really wants them, both SDC and Sophia can provide graded transcripts which the grad school can use to calculate a whole-program GPA.
I'm a bit confused about why bjcheung77 is recommending the AAS Computer Science, though. The ASNSM Comp Sci doesn't require an extra capstone and is "included" (provided you ask for it) when you complete a BACS at TESU. Completing the BACS and BSBA CIS isn't a bad idea, but I think doing 3 capstones in a single term would be a bit much. Better to do 2 capstones and 3 easy classes/ePacks instead, IMO.
I've just emailed a few of them (the UK ones, Edinburgh, Manchester, York and ICL, just for the heck of it) to find out if they require graded courses or not. I'll hopefully email the US ones too. I'll let you guys know what they say.
If I can get away without many graded credits then I'll look into doing the BACS and BSBA CIS together.
Thanks again
I went to grad school at Edinburgh, I would be VERY surprised if they didn't require graded transcripts. Lucky that you are in the UK, international tuition isn't cheap. It is a great school, best online program I have done.
FYI, Edinburgh's MSc Data Science acceptance rate is 10% (60% for the online version) and AI is 22%, so definitely have your app squared away.
