TESU AS Math & BACS

[zolpgree]

Hello everyone!

This is my third attempt to make a degree plan involving BACS and Mathematics.
Due to the lack of availability for testing out UL Math credits, I'm contemplating instead an ASNSM in Mathematics and a BACS, both from TESU, at the same time.

Please comment or suggest any modifications for the planning attached below.

Thank you all in advance!

For the BACS, College algebra (Sophia) will fulfill the Quantitative Literacy requirement for your General Education as MAT-121.

For your ASNSM, I have intermediate algebra fulfilling Quantitative Literacy from my brick and mortar college days which Math 101: College Algebra from study.com will transfer as Mat-115 Intermediate Algebra & then College algebra will count as AOS elective.

I'm not seeing Essentials of Algebra & Statistics, Math for Everyday Life, or Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning on the study.com transfer guide (https://study.com/college/school/thomas-...rsity.html) to TESU.

CMSLearn would work as an AOS elective for your ASNSM coming in BUS-210 Business Quantitative Skills for Business.

Introduction to Web Development from Sophia will not transfer to TESU.

Looks like Calculus will be on Sophia soon (https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-Sophia-Calculus), so you could always try to see if it will transfer to TESU.

Thanks for your help.
I've updated the spreadsheet after checking out sdc's and sophia's list of equivalencies.
Didn't know those existed before. I've removed every course not listed with a respective TESU equivalency using the following links:

FWIW, having a blank Sophia equivalency on the wiki doesn't mean it won't transfer. It only means that nobody has reported a transfer yet. If your time/money budget is tight, obviously skip the blank courses. But if you (or anyone else) is able to fit in even one blank course and report back here, it would be greatly appreciated!

It seems like you are WAY OVERTHINKING the AS in the Math.

You only need 2 additional math courses to get the AS in Math.

General Electives is where college algebra can go, so then you can't reuse it.

AS in Mathematics

Mathematics (27 Credits)
MAT-231 Calculus I

Mathematics Electives (15cr)
CMS Learn (Quantitative Literacy)
Discrete Math
Intro to Stats
Introduction to College Mathematics
(Find 1 more easy/fast math course so whatever you want)

Natural Science, Computer Science, or Math Electives (9)
DON"T WORRY ABOUT THIS, as you have more than enough credits from the computer science degree to cover this.

Free Electives (3 Credits)
DON"T WORRY ABOUT THIS, as you have more than enough credits from the computer science degree to cover this.

Here is the math on the total cost
$750 ONU
$280 Sophia ($20 off first month coupon, total 3 months)
$630 Study.com (There is a coupon for $140 per month & extra exams are $70 each, total 9 exams)
$39   CMS Learn
$4778 TESU (flat rate 16 credits)
$298 TESU graduation fee
$6775 Grand Total

We strongly suggest taking CMS Learn because it's quick and easy. (You can complete in around 10hours. There is free trial)

I would suggest taking a leap of faith and doing the Sophia Calculus if it becomes available, you take some risk it doesn't transfer, but odds are 75% it will transfer. Math is math, so if it doesn't transfer, then you can take it somewhere else, taking the knowledge with you. Also, you don't need to buy an expensive calculator for that course.

Awesome. Thanks for the write up. I'm likely overthinking and obsessing a bit regarding the whole credit planning thing.
I suppose it's time to start the credit grind.

My vote is always to just START on a degree. Don't spend so much time planning that you don't begin.

The AS in Math is completely irrelevant, because once you have a BACS, you're pretty much set. But, if you really feel the need to add it, then do ONU's Finite Math since you need ONU anyway.
