TESU BA Computer Science BSBA CIS Double Degree Plan

[scottlefoll]

I sent an email to TESU Advising about this idea of dual BACS & BSBA CIS degrees, and I just received this response from a supervisor in the Academic Advising department:

"As you will read in the Award of Degree policy, the two Areas of Study within one degree has a restriction on overlap within the Area of Study.  This can create complications and makes the process a bit more confusing.  I think earning two distinct degrees is easier to explain to an employer and looks more professional.  The downside of two degrees, is you would have to complete the first one and graduate before starting the second one, and you would need 24 new credits in the area of study, which are earned after the completion of the first degree.  (Even though you are not technically starting the second degree, you are earning credits which would apply to the second degree.  For example, we wouldn’t make you repeat General Education courses, such as SOS-110)."

I was under the impression that this was wrong information, and that the two degrees could be completed simultaneously. It sounds like the CS electives could not also be used for CIS AOS and Professional courses because he is saying that they must be earned after the first degree is earned.

Does anyone have any actual experiences or information that is different from this?

Just checking, but I thought Study.com's Discrete Math, Operating Systems and Computer Architecture didn't transfer into the CS degree anymore?

I have received evaulations and information from TESU Advising department in the last four days. All of these classes still transfer as follows:

SDC MATH 108 Discrete Math transfers as TESU MAT 270 Discrete Math
SDC CS 105 Operating Systems or SDC CS 305 Advanced Operating Systems both transfer as TESU COS 240 Operating Systems
SDC CS 306 Computer Architecture transfers in as TESU COS 330 Computer Architecture
