Hello everyone.

I have applied for BA CS at TESU and my credits have transferred successfully. I hope to complete 47 RA credits (15 courses) at TESU. I plan to complete it in one year while graduating with a very high GPA (Close to 4).
I have been working as a software engineer for 6 years. I think some of these courses might be easier for me (or maybe it won't be easy). I completed a 60-credit BA BA degree from UMPI in the previous four months and earned a 4.0 GPA. I currently have 20 hours a week to devote to TESU.

I currently have some questions I would like to ask:
How difficult is the CS program at TESU? On average, how many hours do I need to spend on each course? Is 20 hours a week enough to enable me to complete 5 or 4 courses per semester?
Also I would like to get ASNSM at the same time. Will taking some of these math courses from Sophia satisfy this associate degree?
Why is it that compared to WGU, SNHU. TESU doesn't seem to have as strong of community support, for example, WGU, and SNHU both have active reddit & discord study groups.

Thanks to everyone!
