Please help with plan for BS in Information Technology

[andrers]

Hello Everyone,
I'm located in California, 22 years old. Currently enrolled at Thomas Edison State University (TESU). Trying to get A Bachelors Degree with a area of study in Information Technology. I've completed a few courses at at Sophia.org.
MacroEconomics (3 credits)
MicroEconomics (3 credits)
Introduction to Information Technology (3 credits)

I want to get most of the credits out of the way using Sophia.org. What other classes should I take to take care of the requirements

If you want a Bachelor's degree in IT instead of CS, I would suggest Purdue University Global instead of TESU. https://www.purdueglobal.edu/degree-prog...echnology/

You can get a ton of credit by getting just a handful of certificates. https://www.purdueglobal.edu/alternative...ion-exams/

Unlike TESU ( https://www.tesu.edu/ast/programs/bs/it ), they don't require Chemistry/Physics. https://catalog.purdueglobal.edu/undergr...eeplantext

Another option could be a degree in Technology Management from Peirce: https://www.peirce.edu/degrees-programs/...management They accept Sophia, Study.com, and are apparently more generous with certificate credit than TESU is.

TESU is good if you want a degree in Computer Science. Not so good if you want a degree in IT.

WGU has a good IT program that comes with free certifications.

As mentioned Purdue University Global is another option.

I believe it was stated on DF that it wasn't possible to test out of the IT degree from TESU anymore so the only option would be Computer Science.

You can't test out of an IT degree at TESU any longer - they changed alll the requirements for the courses, and most are no longer available. I think it will run you close to $30k to get it now.

Instead, look at WGU or Purdue Global, especially if you have certs. Purdue is especially generous with the amount of credit you can get for a good cert.
