2nd area of study tesu

[Pats20]

In your opinion What would be a good second area of study to bacs with respects to Complimenting , and quickest.

[rachel83az]

Math would be a good choice. Many of the available required math courses are RA credits. However, it may not be the quickest option. Quick depends on personal experience and ability.

Complementary will depend on what your goals are. Do you want something that will tie together in terms of career prospects, or employer valuation, or theoretical connection, or simply whichever has overlapping material that you can finish the fastest?

[Pats20]

Right. something that has course overlap that would require the least amount of extra time ( I know everyone is different, but hypothetically speaking) and would have street value and be beneficial in the real world.

Also should you stick to ba to ba or can you switch over. And as far as area of study , would you have to take the electives as well. Or just the required 6 aos courses

[rachel83az]

The second AOS needs to be in the same school (BA). BS or BSBA would be a separate degree entirely. TESU only allowed you to get two degrees. CS and BSBA CIS aren't bad options but those would be two separate degrees and not a second AOS on one degree.

Math is the 'traditional' second major for CompSci students in my experience. Business would also have real-world value IMO, but like rachel83az said it's a second degree entirely. TESU doesn't have a ton of overlap between it's BA degrees I don't believe because each AOS is like 30-40 credits, but I'm sure I can be corrected.

[Pats20]

Thanks. Maybe the best course of action is to complete ba as quickly as possible and apply to a masters since both would require about the same amount of extra credits. Most masters are 30-36. It looks like a second aos is 30-40 additional credits minus a few that might overlap if you’re lucky.

[rachel83az]

I was going to add math to mine but then I didn't want to deal with the hassle of collecting all those math credits. Then I thought History might be fun but now I'm not sure about that, with the 90-ACE credit limit. I'm not sure that applies to two AOS or not.

Good: 30 RA credits required; bring in extra ACE credits to add additional AOS.

Bad: 90 ACE credits maximum period; must bring in additional RA credits for AOS.

Assuming the second, I think it'd be cheaper and easier to get a full History degree from UMPI rather than add a History AOS at TESU.

[Pats20]

No doubt. Especially the way they keep changing things. One in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Dont forget about cost. 2nd Math Aos will cost u. I think cheapest is Psychology and it can be done fast too. It can also be used with comsci in future.
Also u have to recheck with new requirements from TESU and ACE , RA  limits
I checked there r few psychology course u can take as UExcel. It will come up as RA which is good thing for current situation
