Goal:
Pivot into computer science, particularly Georgia Tech's Masters of Science, Computer Science online degree.
*Edit Here are the courses I likely need to finish, either in a school or online then get credits recognised in COSC:
- Study.com - Comp Sci 109: Introduction to Programming
- Study.com - Comp Sci 201: Data Structures & Algorithms
- Study.com - Math 104: Calculus
- Study.com - Math 108: Discrete Mathematics
- Study.com - Comp Sci 305: Operating Systems
- Study.com - Comp Sci 306: Computer Architecture
- TECEP - Network Technology
- Study.com - Comp Sci 303: Database Management
- Study.com - Comp Sci 302: Systems Analysis & Design
- Coopersmith - Linear Algebra
- Straigherline - Introduction to Programming in C++
- Study.com - Comp Sci 103: Computer Concepts & Applications
My current pivot plan:
Option 2) Enroll in Charter Oak, take:*Edit: Then transfer to Western Governor University(WGU) an online school with Computer Science Bachelors to finish.
- "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?)
TESU possibly, or maybe a school better known for CS to and finish there.

Can you give me more of your background (plus how you did in college?) and also why you chose Business then and Comp Sci now? Further to that, why COSC & Georgia Tech, do you have another option you're looking at, like any another Masters?
Hey @bjecheug77, so glad my post caught your attention, i've seen you help so many people and thank you so much for your good work in the forum.
I've posted/edited my post with edits (ctrl+f and type in "*edit" to find the edit points) hopefully answer your questions.
I'm open to other Masters, but would prefer GTech as based on research, it's the best value for quality.
