Associate Degree in Computer Science - JoeyCA - 07-01-2025
Hi everyone. I am new here, looking to complete an RA - Associate degree.(TESU seems great and should be accepted in Canada). I currently hold an NA-Associate Degree (Web design) from New York. I live in Ontario Canada. I need this RA-Associate degree for work promotion. Having this will open doors. In the future, I will consider a Bachelors Degree but for now its not completely required.
Your Location: Ontario Canada
Your Age: 39
What kind of degree do you want?: I want a Associate Degree in Computer(Science or Studies), I have been in this field for ages (I feel old).
Current Regional Accredited Credits: No RA credits only NA credits (I have 81 NA credits)
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: I do have some ACE credits, (I have somewhere around 25 ACE credits)
Any certifications or military experience?: I have Google Ads, Google IT Support, Google Data Analytics
Budget: No restrictions.
Commitments: I am looking to complete this as soon as possible. Busy work, along with wife and kids. This will open all the doors once the degree is from a RA school. Hopefully I can transfer as much as possible.
Dedicated time to study: I can study on weekends if needs be. (8hrs total). I would much rather take computer courses they might require less studying for me personally.
Timeline: As soon as possible.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement:None, I am in Canada.

Welcome to the board, great intro post with the addendum and template. Just wondering, which NA institution did you go to from New York? Which city in Ontario are you residing at now? Anyways, 8 hours the entire week to focus on studies is a bit tight on schedule or time. With 81 NA credits, TESU may actually accept most of the credits into their Bachelors.
They've recently changed their stance, they haven't accepted NA but may have made changes to that, I suggest applying to a Bachelors, and adding the Associates. You can complete the Associates first and then do the Bachelors slowly, the kicker is, your Bachelors would be pretty much paid for (Edison Accelerate Fee, or the 15 residency credits).
