Switching from TESU to UMPI

[sreos]

Basically, I would still recommend getting the other Coursera Certs as you're only 23 years of age, that would add some certs and experience into your portfolio.  If you were say, 43 and have many years of experience, then the main goal is the degree itself, not the certs or experience.  You want to have a well balanced mix/match of the trifecta I usually recommend, certs, degree, experience.  Coursera Certs are affordable and gets the job done for entry into that field...

Thanks for the recommendation. I've been working in IT for 3 years, with a total of 4 years of work experience. For a promotion at my current job, I need a degree, but these certificates take around 6 months each to complete. Given my time constraints, are there faster credit alternatives for these courses, or would it be better to take them at UMPI?
