[New][Help needed] Need some insight/help planning BACS/BSCS

[ajs1976]

OP,

Take the TESU BACS degree requirements and paste them into a spreadsheet. Clean it up and start mapping where you think your current courses will fall into the requirements. Pay attention to UL requirements. When you start to identify courses you have to take try to determine if they are ones you need to take at TESU or if they can be taken somewhere else. If they are lower level, look at community colleges.

Or davewill can start it for you.

With Discrete Math and Data Structures both being LL, I would look to take them at a CC. At the one local to me, they would be about $350 and $500 each.

Don't forgot about TECEPs. I would take the Nutrition TECEP over the Saylor Chemistry any day, and I am a former Chemistry major.

I don't understand the fascination with Saylor when there are faster alternatives. I get that they are only $25, but time is money. Study for 5-15 hours for an exam that you paid $75-125 vs spending 80 hours slogging through a Saylor course to only spend $25, doesn't work for me.

Software Engineering - consider taking it at COSC and transfer it to TESU. There is a thread here where two of us compare our experiences between TESU and COSC. The course was one of the positive points to my time at COSC. Make sure to get it pre-approved if you can. Originally transferred as LL, but I one the appeal.

I like ALEKS. Used it for review for my Math TECEP and was at one time working on Stats. It isn't for everyone. Spend $20 and try it for a month to see if it works for you.

A year ago, DSST cybersecurity transferred as CIS-344.
