Below is an outline of a BA CS degree I am looking to get from TESC. I have a couple of questions and was hoping someone here could help.
1. I have the MAT-121-CE College Algebra CLEP under the Natural Sciences/Mathematics part of the degree. I also wanted to take the MAT-115-DE Fundamentals of College Algebra DSST for general electives. My concern is that they are very similar. Would they both count if I took them, or would TESC only let me count one of those as credit?
2. Any idea if I can take the COS-101-DE Introduction to Computing DSST instead of the TESC course Introduction to Computers (COS-101) in the core requirements?
3. I believe I understand that you need 18 upper level credits in your major. I have 6 courses in the 300 and higher. However, only 3 of them are COS courses. Two are CIS courses and that last in the capstone. Do the CIS and capstone work in giving the upper level credit toward the CS degree?
4. Any other thoughts/issues/problems pop out at you as you see the degree plan here? (Your feedback is most welcome )
Thanks!
