Do you guys think that this degree (ASNSM in Computer Science) from TESU is respected? I recently got accepted but I am not sure if it is a real computer science degree or if it is a science and math degree with a little sprinkle of computer science in there. I am looking for a legit computer science degree. When I graduate would I be able to legit say that I graduated with a computer science degree. I think the ASNSM is throwing me off.

Most people looking for a legit computer science degree pursue a bachelor's degree in computer science. The ASNSM, being an associate's isn't worth much on its own.

Associate's in Math, CompSci, or Natural Sciences are usually an on-the-way sort of thing that people get while working on their Bachelor's. Independently, I don't think it is worth it, but if you wanted to use this to level your CompSci skills before chasing a graduate program (or transferring to a better school without good SAT scores), then maybe it would be. It's all in the use case.

That being said, it's better to have one than not.

It's definitely worth it to get it if it's "free" but I would not pay for a separate graduation fee/residency waiver just for an ASNSM.

Does TESU allow concentration in the associate?
I do have quite a few credits that could be incorporated into something more than just a simple AA but was looking at certificates rather than associate, but talking to advisor once we reach more than 60 credits they kinda discourage certificate. Although there is no limit on how many but it needs to 'fit' with type of Bachelors degree one is pursuing. Also because my program is a BA, not sure if associate can be in science?

For example the ASNSM is available in Computer Science, Mathematics, Biology...

It would be respected as much as most any other school's associate in computer science. If you want bachelor level respect, that would require a bachelor in CS. If you're adding it to another program to show some competency in an area (CS) then it helps. In my case I have a BSBA, I think of it showing I had a "minor" in CS (my professional experience makes it clear my skills are more 'major' level - but I was not going to opt for two capstones when I can use that time/money towards a master degree). What is your objective?

I actually have a bachelor in nursing. I am also a family nurse practitioner and just wanted to ease into computer science without having to get another bachelor degree. Do you all suggest that I still need a bachelor in CS?

Honestly, I think a boot camp will do, but it depends on what you are trying to do. Are you trying to do the latest and greatest AI, machine learning, etc... or just like web development?

A boot camp is going to teach you a language. The degree is going to teach you theory that boot camp ‘coders’ don’t know. I recommend the computer science certificate to cover those basics. I don’t personally recommend the comp sci BA from TESU, especially as a second bachelor's. |
