Ok, I wanted to complete the TESU ASNSM in Computer Science. Apparently I need 18 credits in Computer Science
In the Area of study, I have
Intro to Programming - 3 credits
Management Information Systems- 3 credits
Personal Com Appl 3.00 Credits CIS-107
Introduction to Computers 3.00 credits COS-101
Information Security for Everyone (AWR175) 2 credits completed September 2020.
Cyber Law and White-Collar Crime (AWR-168) - 2 credits completed September 2020.
Cyber Security for Everyone (Cyber 101) v.1 - 2 credits - completed January 2014.
What else can I do that is low cost and easy to completed the area of study? Is there anything that is doubled? Example Teex Courses?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hmm, email TESU - I would complete as much of the TEEX courses if they accept that still... otherwise, I recommend Study.com Comp Sci 105 - Operating Systems. It's a relatively easy/fast course...

do those actually meet the AOS ?
they just seem more like data processing courses to me
but then TESU is weird with their classifications
I believe they count computer programming (or something similar) as natural science which is just stupid
> FYI I have completed part B of the AOS (a math course and 2 science courses)
what are the 2 science courses ?
I don't see any listed in your signature
and the only math I see is College Math and Statistics
does one of them meet the math requirement ? Calculus or Pre-Calc isn't required ? That's kind of shocking for CS degree, even if it is just an associates
18 credits = 6 courses = 3 months at study.com = $600
depending on how much time you have to study you could probably knock it down to two months ($400) -- but I just looked at the courses and most involve projects or papers -- even the Intro to Linux course seems like too much work to me LOL
there's also sophia
https://www.sophia.org/online-courses/all-courses/
they have a couple of IT courses -- I think they're only $79 per month
Excelsior has the java exam for $110 -- but it looks like you've already got something similar

The ASNSM doesn't require any advanced math, no.
Sophia's it courses mostly don't count or they overlap with other things already taken. I do not recommend their database course unless there is no other choice. It takes too long and has much more work than SDC's UL DB course. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/So...lency_List

The Sophia Database course situation is kinda strange. It's supposed to be equivalent to Strayer's CIS111 Intro to Relational Database Management Systems. However, the content of the courses differs drastically. CIS111 at Strayer is a MS Access course that doesn't touch SQL at all. It teaches basic RDBMS concepts with the GUI. Meanwhile, the "equivalent" Sophia course dives directly into hardcore SQL. No Access or GUI content whatsoever. The material is also far more in-depth than in the Strayer course.
TESU takes the Sophia Database Course (or my Microsoft MTA) as ITS-130 Database Fundamentals, which precedes ITS-231 Database Programming. My Strayer CIS-111 credit came in as CIS-211 Database Management.
I actually signed up for the Sophia Database course to help with ITS-231. It's near or just below the TESU course material depth in most areas. The TESU course textbook wasn't working well for me, and I needed an alternative resource.
Overall, I wasn't thrilled with the Sophia Database offering. It's probably the lowest quality course they offer, with numerous mistakes, wrong answers, typos, and unhelpful hints. Also, the order of topics is often nonsensical. Why do they spend the first two chapters on SQL, then go back to basic database concepts? Much of the content should be reordered. Furthermore, don't be fooled by the lack of assignments - this course takes a lot of time. Guessing isn't feasible on many of the questions. Unlike other subjects, where you may have enough background knowledge to select likely answers, this course requires you to open a database and run queries to find the results.
