Need help with BA CS and BS CIS double degree plan
#1
Location: Sri Lanka, South Asia
Age: 28

Degree Goals:
  • BA in CS and BS in CIS (double degree)
  • Associate in Science in Business Administration
  • Associate in Science in Mathematics
  • (Long-term goal: Master’s or PhD in Computer Science (and possibly an MBA))
Current RA Credits: None (just starting with Sophia).( I’m academically strong and can usually plough through courses quickly.)
Budget: Around $8,000 (can stretch a bit higher if absolutely necessary, but I want to keep it as low as possible).
Priorities:
  • Fastest possible path to degree completion
  • Pick courses that are relatively easier and can be completed in shorter timeframes
  • Cost efficiency without compromising future transferability
Commitments: None . fully flexible for the next six months. I can dedicate 10–15 hours per day for study.
Timeline: Aim to finish within 6 months.
Tuition Assistance / Reimbursement: None

Here’s the link to my current plan.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing

I struggle with few places in this plan, in the areas of AOS for CS and CIS.
I personally don’t want to do Network technology course as it is said to be a difficult course to pass.But I am not sure whether  some of the courses I have chosen in the area of study satisfies the relevant requirements. 

As for the ASNSM in math, in addition to the courses I have  chosen for BA CS and BS CIS ,it seems like I only need Applied liberal arts in Math  and Precalculus from Sophia. Am I wrong?

And for an associate in Business Administration, I don’t seem to require any additional courses. Please, correct me if I am wrong.
I want to maximize whatever I can get through TESU.


This forum was really helpful for me to understand most of the things. Really appreciate that. 

Any support to finalize the plan  is appreciated. Thanks in advance Smile

I struggle with few places in this plan, specially in the AOS for CS and CIS.
I personally don’t want to do Network technology course as it is said to be a difficult course to pass. I still lack two UL courses in CS AOS and CIS AOS. Any suggestions to satisfy that requirement?

As for the ASNSM in math, in addition to the courses I have  chosen for BA CS and BS CIS ,it seems like I only need Applied liberal arts in Math  and Precalculus from Sophia. Am I wrong?

I just completed this double Bachelor's degree plan and I did it without taking Network Technology ? Also, the AS Math - it does accept the Applied Mathematics, Pre-Calculus, Calculus I

I was able to get my non-overlapping UL CIS/CLD courses from Coursera. I was able to do it free as I knew most of the material to get it done within the 7 day free trial period for SAS Advance Programmer (CIS-399) and Cloud Data Analytics (CLD-420). Will provide a thorough post of what transferred for me via alternative credits once I'm off work and on my computer.

Thank you so much for answering.I am actually still confused about which courses will transfer as UL CS/CIS courses. Will check the courses that you mentioned and update my current plan. Please, let me know more when you are free. Thank you once again.
