TEEX classes
#1
All-

I am looking to complete the ASNSM in Computer Science at TESU (Associates in Natural Science and Math), as I understand it has no capstone and I need an associates in computer science. I am looking for low cost or free courses that will count for the Area of Study for the degree. Does anyone know if the TEEX classes count? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I emailed TESU advising and they gave a very non-committal answer and basically said "we don't know if the courses will apply or not, until you take them and try to transfer them". The counselor even said "sorry I can't be more helpful". Anyone here had these credits count towards anything other than free electives in any degree?

Thanks.

Are you pressed for time to complete the degree? Those courses should be CIS, Business, or Free electives.
They will not fit in the Area of Study, unless it is in either CIS or Biz. Your cheapest, easiest, fastest option is to find your state comm college and see if they have programming courses to satisfy these requirements.

Furthermore, what credits have you accumulated already? Do you have any comp sci courses?
If not, you can do the following - email advising again telling them you're going to take the following and see if it counts towards the credits.

1) Saylor CS101 - TESU COS101 (intro to Java)
2) Straighterline CS101 - TESU COS213 (intro to C++)
3) Penn Foster CSC105 - TESU COS111 (Intro to Programming)
4) Javaonline.org Premium Plus - 9 credits, Java Programming (Not ACE, but NCCRS recommended)
If you go this method and they accept all the credits, you have 15 credits in the Area of Study, cheap.

I don't think TEEX counts as CIS any longer, but I'm not entirely certain. Let's see if someone who's a CS major can help tell us, plus any info regarding the following courses:

CLEP Info Sys OR DSST Computers (they duplicate each other)

DSST ($80 + testing center fees)
- Management Info Systems
- Cybersecurity

TECEP ($114)
- Computer Concepts
- Network Technology

SL ($99/mo + course fee)
- IT Fundamentals
- C++ Programming

TCC ($220 + enrollment fee?)
- Intro to Computing & Program Design
- Intro to HTML5 and CSS3

CSU-Global ($250)
- Basic Programming
- Cloud Computing
- Ethical Hacking
- Info Systems Analysis & Design (this will definitely work as it's a requirement for the BA-CS)

Systems Analysis and Design can be used, but it's not a requirement for the BA in Computer Science. It's a requirement for the BSBA in CIS.

The Network Technology TECEP (CMP354) does not fit in the CS AOS. In general a course has to come across as CIS or COS, not CMP, ELC, ELD, ELE or ELT. I'm pretty sure that IT Fundamentals and Cloud Computing won't work. I'd also be concerned about Cybersecurity and Ethical Hacking.

The last time I read anything current on the classes (COSU)

TEEX-250 CAP-295 Intro to Security Basics (2cr)
TEEX-251 CAP-385 Network Security (2cr)
TEEX-252 CIS-244 Computer Security (2cr)

CAP being their generic code for computer applications, so not in your AOS with the possible exception of the 252 class; things could have changed for the current catalog and moved that one as well.

And, only some CIS classes work. TESU makes a determination of whether or not the CIS class is applied or theoretical. If it can't be used as a natural science, then it can't be used in the CS AOS. TESU told a natural science student that cloud computing will not count. I have a course that is the equivalent if the Cybersecurity DSST. Even though it is coded as CIS (so is cloud computing), it cannot be used as a natural science or computer science course. TESU does the same thing with AOJ courses. Some count as social sciences and others don't.

The CIS AOS in the business degree is more flexible. It'll allow CIS, COS, CMP, and even some CAP courses.

Here's the list of courses at TESU Thomas Edison State University | Undergrad Course Offerings
You can look into the classes under undergrad classified as COS courses, for comp sci.
Others are CIS, etc and the may not count towards your goal.. Check the local CC.
If you can get courses cheaper at the CC, go for them first, if not, these are your options.

Your final option: Many youngsters know HTML, CSS, Wordpress, etc by self study and practice.
If you are familiar with them, you can skip the TCC courses above and go for PLA $379/12 credits.
Heck, I would go for it... Just that, I don't know it well enough...
Use the free Kaplan course to get you started on your PLA...

PS. You can help me create a website for fun and practice, I'll pay the going rate. Haha..

No enrollment fee for TCC anymore. Just $65/per credit for most exams, plus $25 to ProctorU. So just $220 total, like you said.

From my eval or personal dealing with advising, the following won't work for CS: all TEEX, cloud computing, networking TECEP

I highly suspect the following won't work because they're too applied: computer concepts, cybersecurity, IT fundamentals, ethical hacking

Be careful with CIS. Some don't count as mentioned earlier.

What works is: MIS DSST (easy prior to the 3/31 revision, use IC if you feel you need it), CSU-G System Analysis (cram an older version of the textbook for 8 hours the day before), any programming course that is RA/ACE/NCCRS approved, and anything else that matches a COS course the closest (be careful because a CAP/CMP course might match better and that is bad news)
