HELP to decide -Computer Science/Engineering/IT

No, not the business one. But you can pick up the ASNSM Math super easily. I think you'd just need one or two additional math courses. If that. Such as the Liberal Arts Math TECEP and/or the College Math CLEP exam.

Here's another option.

If you get the BA in Computer Science at TESU, then you pick up the Associates in Business for free and with no extra courses required if you plan things right.

Another option is to get an MBA later on in life.

Sound like you're set on TESU however, the SNHU Computer Science plan is up on Wiki now:

So, if we were going to get a double major - BA/BS CIS and BA CS....would it be helpful to get an associates also?

There is no need for the Associates in Business if you already have the BSBA CIS.

What I recommend is doing the Computer Science degree first getting everything done but the free electives, then deciding if you want to go for the BSBA CIS or AS Business or nothing else.

A kid who likes programming and solving real world computer problems would probably be happiest with a computer science degree over the others. Why not start him in community college? That's the place for someone who isn't sure what degree they want. I somehow don't think that studying online at home is going to help him sort out his adult self as well as being around other folks who are also figuring out the adult world. You end up socialing with all sorts of people who are doing a lot of different things, some of them farther along in the "adulting" process.

Thank you everyone! I posted a new thread with the degree plan I came up with. I would love your feedback!

ACI, 2 things:  1) As a favor to ask, can you update the template by also creating a corresponding BACS plan side by side using the details of the wiki links that were provided to you?  Please make sure the info below is updated.  2) If you can't find the corresponding courses, leave it blank, I'll review it later.

Your 16 credits for residency will be the following, and all 16 credits including the ones from ASU *MUST* be on both plans, as each of them need the 30 RA and the 16 credit residency.  So, to slice it, you need cornerstone, 2 capstones, for 9 credits.  I would take three more courses - Discrete Math, Computer Architecture, Operating Systems for 9.

Thanks - it was recommended on here we might as well get the two degrees at once since it is only a small overlap.  And, apparently TESU accepts the order better if you complete CIS before CS.

Okay...not sure I know how to do it so it make sense, but I tried...

I updated the post and the spreadsheet.  Thanks! CIS degree Advice - Plan inclucded (degreeforum.net)
