2nd degree in CS
#1
Hi all,

I started this a couple years ago but never finished it. This year, I would actually like to complete it and listed below are the courses required that I have left:

1) Operating Systems (almost complete)
2) Computer Architecture
3) Data Structures
4) 4 CS electives
5) Liberal Arts Capstone

I am thinking about doing Study.com for the 1st 3 as well as electives (Database Mgmt & R Programming) then MIS from DAVAR academy. The other elective I am thinking about taking is Artificial Intelligence from TESU. On the other hand, I may take that IBM Data science certificate that transfers in 6 credits. What do you all think about my plan?

Additionally, I wanted to know if anyone knows any strategy for Study.com courses or any study tips and tricks you can point me to? Thanks!

Are you sure this is all you need? Do you have RA credits or are you a student from a couple of years ago who has no RA credit? If you don't have a recent degree evaluation from TESU, you should probably apply/enroll ASAP to lock in the current catalog and to confirm that's all you need.
In progress:
TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA

Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)
ASU: Human Origins, Astronomy, Intro Health & Wellness, Western Civilization, Computer Appls & Info Technology, Intro Programming
Strayer: CIS175, CIS111, WRK100, MAT210

I have my degree evaluation but I do not know what RA credits mean.

RA credit is credit from a Regionally Accredited college or university. Courses from places like Study.com are alternate credit and not RA.

Gotcha. This is my 2nd degree from TESU, most of them is from RA and a couple Study.com courses.

Okay, good! A few years ago, it was possible to graduate TESU with few/no RA credits at all, so I wanted to confirm that you had at least 30 of them.

In that case, your plan sounds good. Although, I'm not sure that the Data Science certificate would count as a CS elective. AFAIK, DSI and ITS courses don't always count for CS. You'd probably be better off taking the IBM Full Stack Software Developer Professional Certificate. That one has 2 cloud computing courses (one of which is upper level), plus Python programming - at least 9 credits that would count toward a CS degree. There are also some ITS courses that may or may not count.

My recommendation is to take the Software engineering at Saylor.com it comes in as a UL course, do not waste your time taking the one from SDC is a LL division. You can use the study material from SDC as a reference.

TESU - ASNSM ASBA, UNIR- Master Cyber Security

I would take it for LL credits, and then take the Saylor exam for $5 for UL.

You can do Software engineering for LL and UL? So, are you saying that would transfer in 6 credits?
