TESU: MS Data Science and Analytics

[poneill]

Would you mind sharing what classes you are taking for the BA in Math? I'm strongly considering a dual Area of Study in History and Math and I've got the History courses all mapped out but not all of the Math ones.

Sure.  Here is what I am doing for the Math area of study.  There are not a lot of inexpensive options for the math beyond Calc II unfortunately.

Course (where) TESU transcript course ID

Probability/Statistics (Aleks)   STA-201
Calculus I  (Straighterline)  MAT-231
Calculus II (Straigherline)  MAT-232
Calculus III (TESU)  MAT-331
Calculus IV (TESU) MAT-332
Linear Algebra (TESU)  MAT-321
College Geometry (TESU)  MAT-361
Discrete Mathematics (TESU)  MAT-270
Mathematical Logic (TESU)  MAT-401
Mathematical Modeling (TESU) MAT-351

How do you know the course numbering for the Bachelor's requirements is the same for the Masters?  The course names might be the same thing, but the numbering might be different.  I wonder if that would play a role in this.  If not, wow!  That's a cheap master degree in this field!  Actually, there's a WGU MS Data Analytics too... decisions, decisions.

Well, here is an example.

The course requirements on the link I gave lists this course as a core requirement for the MS.

Name: SQL - Introduction to Database Queries 
TESU Transcript ID: DSI 530

I took that same course as an elective for the BS.  It came in on my transcript as DSI-330. 

Statistics.com offers only 1 course on this subject.  So they must be the same course at statistics.com. 

Also the way it works is that you take the course at Stastics.com then add the course to your ACE transcript after completion.  There is also only one ACE course for statistics.com by this name: STAT-0017.  ACE also lists it as an lower division baccalaureate course, not a graduate course.

For some of the courses in that list, the TESU document gives two transcript IDs, such as in this case:

Interactive Data Visualization - DSI 322 or DSI 622

I took this course as well and it came in as DSI 322.

There is no other course on the topic at Statistics.com so it seems it must also be DSI 622.

I have asked about it though and should know better next week.

And yes, that is not a bad price for an MS in this field!  It is quick too as each course is only a month long. However, some courses are only offered once a year.
