Degree plan Charter Oak with goal of Georgia Tech OMSCS
#1
Hi there, 

Long time lurker, first time poster here. 

Context:
I'm an international student accepted by Charter Oak(COSC) but it is for Business Administration(General Business) with 43 credits left to complete(77 accepted). Not a whole heap of college Math subjects or CS background aside from CS50 MOOC. [Aced GCE O'level's Maths in Secondary(high?) school if any consolidation]

- Based on CED: I' have the equivalent of a high school diploma & 3 years of undergraduate study in business from a regionally accredited US college or university.

- Based on ECE: I've got equivalent of a high school diploma & Associate degree, major area of study: Business Administration. 

Goal:
Pivot into computer science, particularly Georgia Tech's Masters of Science, Computer Science online degree. 

My current pivot plan:
Option 1) Complete the Bachelors of Business in Charter Oak + taking supplement courses from 3rd party(*Saylor, Study.com, TECEP, Coopersmith, Straighliner) to buff up my Masters application and if possible fill out parts of my 43 credits. 

Option 2) Enroll in Charter Oak, take:
  • "MAT 105 - Statistics", "CSS 435"(is this a repeat of my business statistics?) &  "CSS435 - Fundamentals of Network Security"? (not many CS subjects in COSC)
  • take CS related courses from 3rd party(*see option 1),
  • test out what I cannot avoid
  • take CS related courses from 3rd party(*see option 1),
  • test out what I cannot avoid to complete my Gen Ed courses(could even get an Associates Degree?) 
Then transfer to Western Governor University(WGU)'s Computer Science Bachelors to finish.

Option 3) Looking for expertise here to help edit my plan to make it better/faster/less costly.
(ie. get re-evaluated in COSC for a general ed degree with concentration in informations systems for more flex?)

Question:
- With my goal in mind, which option would you recommend and would you tailor it, if so how?
- Is this the right forum to post the question, or is there a better sub?

Really appreciate this. If it helps my credits accepted are per below(split into a reply)
