TESC BSAST in IT, newbie getting started

[ryoder]

Abandon some of your preconceived notions and you will do much better. A lot of people finish and say "If I had only known X before I could have wasted less time and finished faster".
So take the time to study the forum, read about CLEP/DSST/Straighterline.com/ALEKs/PennFoster/TECEP/ECE.
In fact, make sure you learn what each of those are and how they can help you complete your degree requirements before signing up for a 'real' course. You will thank me later, believe me.

I am very much in the same shoes as you. I have been a programmer for many years and had 72 credits last October when I realized I could CLEP and finish up at my local brick and mortar university. So I took some CLEP tests and then found this site. I realized that I could complete a BSBA CIS at TESC in about 5 months and jumped at it. Now I am almost finished with an MBA in Applied Computer Science and will be looking into PhD programs soon.

So spend some time researching and asking questions and you will finish in no time.

You should post your degree evaluation online for us to look at. Some very wonderful people will no doubt fill it in for you recommending testing out options for each class. These people are going to become your friends over the next 6-12 months I guarantee you.

Good luck.
