Updated degree plan BA CS/Math (+ perhaps BSBA CIS) - StudentOLife - 12-28-2020
Hello,
I've posted awhile back and have since completed many of Sophia's courses thanks to the help of @bjcheung77. I've recently asked a few questions about if linear algebra from coopersmith is still relevant if my advisor has "planned" and approved via email and also asked if foreign credits will impact the 90 credits limit we can transfer (answer seem to be no, it's independent of each other, so far so good). I'd likely use my leave at work, take the flat fee and gun for 16 credits to avoid the residency waiver.
1) I also thought I'd post my course plan here to I can get some criticism/better ways to do things and because @bjcheung77 told me to :) Feel free to comment.
2) My goals are: finish the BA CS/Math > GT OMSCS/other Masters > PhD. (One can hope!). Does anyone know if there's a thesis option in TESU? (is it just the Capstone and is it effective in helping bolster application do you reckon)
Attached are my academic evaluation followed which includes a BSBA CIS degree which bjcheung77 recommended I evaluate.
Happy holidays and Godspeed everyone!

If you take 16cr, then you don't have to pay the residency waiver.
Also, not sure why you'd want to do 2 capstones? Ugh, I didn't love doing 1, you'd have to do a lot to make me do another one - something to do with torture.

Thanks for that, wrote that wrongly, fixed! Right, so with BSBA I'll need another capstone instead, not something I can do together like BA CS & Math. Still open to it, but good to know!

With the BA degrees, there is the brand new alternate 6-credit capstone. Instead of just writing a paper, it's something akin to doing an internship at a company. If you want to boost your resume with real world experience, that'd be the way to go.

It seems like someplace on this forum I read that asu earned admissions “brief calculus” Math 210 transferred into Tesu bacs program to fulfill the calculus requirement. Has anyone tested this theory or knows for sure if this works.
Thanks

I didn't like that ASU calculus but you can certainly give it a try. It will transfer in as regular Calculus I, yes. You can check it for yourself here: https://www.tesu.edu/admissions/transfer-credit

Is this the Academic Community Impact (ACI) Program?

Yes, that's the one. I couldn't remember what it was called when I posted.

I'm more keen on writing a paper I'd like if there's a way to taper it more towards research actually. How does the capstone assign an instructor, can we pick relevant instructors from the faculty or is it assigned?
