New Member with a UMPI Question

Thanks for that @bjcheung77. I actually contacted TESU first and as I understand it, they only let you do a max of 15 credits per semester. I felt like this would take much longer than WGU or UMPI. This is before I realized how many credits I could do with Sophia first. I have learned a bit more about this process and will check out the link you provided and make sure I understand what they do and how.

I don't think I'm going to want to double up on anything, but maybe that will change!

Thx!

15 TESU credits per semester, yes. However, depending on what degree you're wanting to get, you can transfer in up to 117 or 114 credits. You would need a total of 30 RA credits, too. You can get 15 RA credits (relatively) easily and cheaply with a few LL TECEP exams or ASU Universal Learner courses. Because you want a business degree, you could do 105 credits at Sophia/Study.com/TECEPs/ASU/etc., then a flat-rate term at TESU with the cornerstone, capstone, and 3 easy classes to bring you up to 120 credits.

Depending on how quickly you can finish the non-TESU credits, the time to completion would be not too dissimilar from UMPI/WGU. Indeed, I believe most students wind up needing at least two WGU terms and I'm pretty sure TESU would have been faster for those students.
