Study.com Computer Science Course Equivalency

Most folks end up taking these at a local CC or via an online college course (like direct from TESU). Study.com is working on a course, but who knows when (or if) it will be ready.

Yes. TESU doesn't accept LL ACE recommended courses as UL any longer.

I mentioned alternatives in the other thread. These include the Study.com MIS course and their Digital Marketing course.

The Computer Architecture course seems the toughest, though I don't think any of them are that tough, it depends on your familiarity with the subject going into the course. The project for Systems Analysis is a pain in the butt, but the one for Database Management is very straightforward.

Personally, I got through Systems Analysis, Database Management, Digital Marketing, and the Programming in C course in like 2-3 weeks and scored in the upper 90s on each, but I have more than 20 years of hands-on software engineering experience. I haven't taken the Operating Systems or Computer Architecture courses yet so I can't add my feedback there.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
