Hi all,
I'm building a degree plan for a TESC BSBA in CIS and I'm frustrated at how their CIS electives are structured. I'm hoping someone with experience in this degree path can offer some advice... :confused:
The BSBA CIS requires 12 CIS electives taken from a list of "areas." But I can't find TESC courses for the following in their list:
- Application System Development
- Basic Design Theory and Decision Making Techniques
- Computer Logic and Organization (= COS-330 Computer Architecture?)
- Computer Management
- Client Server and Net-Centric Computing
- Computer and Information Technology*
- Information Systems Administration
- Job Control Language Systems
- Network Architectures (=CMP-354 Network Technology?)
- Networking Principles (LAN/WAN/Internet) (= CAP-302 Computer Networking Systems?)
- Problem Analysis and Solutions
- Quantitative Analysis and Information Systems (MAT-119 is for Business, not IS)
- Social Aspects of Information Technology
However, from what I can tell in several cases they don't actually offer courses that would actually meet their requirements. For example, I'm interested in finding out more about "Basic Design Theory and Decision Making Techniques", "Problem Analysis and Solutions", and "Quantitative Analysis and Information Systems." But I don't see any courses with those or similar names in their course list. I thought this was a degree program offered completely through TESC?
Do I need to find courses from other institutions to fill these requirements?
And if so, has anyone compiled a "master list" of external independent study courses that will fill the BSBA CIS electives requirements?
Thanks for the help!!

If you don't receive the needed feedback here. Consider sending an email to the adviser department. They do respond sometimes quickly, however don't expect the correct response the first time around.

they accept CS courses aswell. Any computer courses you want to take I would ask them first just to make sure. They will accept more courses then they list.

Unfortunately the courses I
want to take, namely
Basic Design Theory and Decision Making Techniques and
Quantitative Analysis, aren't offered at TESC. They have quantitative analysis for business, but not for IS. Frustrating.
I got a lead from an earlier thread on checking degreeinfo, so I'll ask over there as well.
Thanks!

You will have to take those courses at a university. just take data structures, databases, MIS and something else.

The problem is, I
want to take a course with a name like "Quantitative Analysis." I just can't find it. :mad:

Thanks, looks interesting. Just added that site to my list for future research as well.
So here's the question: Why does TESC offer a "Quantitative Analysis for Business" course (like the above, but maybe the above is faster), but for CIS they specify in the elective section "Quantitative Analysis
and Information Systems?" It's like they either screwed up, or intentionally make it difficult... :mad:

Hey dcan, for some reason I thought you were finishing a degree from CCAF too. If you are active duty and Skillsoft still has a current agreement with the AF you can get some FREE CIS credits. My son did a few through E-Army Learning as a DoD civilian.
