TESC BSAST in IT, newbie getting started

[justlearning123]

If you want to get started now, go get a couple of CLEP REA books that you know you need.
Information Systems and Computer Applications for example equates to COS-101
I highly recommend Macro and MicroEconomics for your social sciences because they are CLEP exams, are relevant to business and are required for a business degree and are required for entrance into an MBA later on. Here is how I might start if I were you.

I as thinking of a more science-centric degree than business-centric. If I get a masters, it would probably be in something related to computer technology (not business). I like working with technology. Having said that, maybe I should consider more "management" type classes rather than focusing on beeing a better worker-bee. I don't like managing people, but I do like managing computer systems.

One more thing. The BSAST IT is heavy on IT credits. You cannot test out of most of these so you might want to considering doing a BSBA CIS which has more testable credits on it and fewer IT credits. Go down the IT path but make sure your electives are also required courses for the business degree and you will have this option later on.

I have already taken a lot of IT credits, but I'm not sure if they count for the TESC desgree. That is one of the things I was wondering about. Here it looks like I only need 4 more:

ALEKs College Algebra - ALEKs is a learning and testing tool in one so get an algebra for dummies book and use ALEKs to practice and earn credit
ALEKs PreCalc
ALEKs Statistics

What is the advantage of taking math classes at ALEKS instead of Straighterline?
