*Edit: Did not do too well in my polytechnic, 2.52GPA. Have got over 10 years work experience and am now a project manager. Originally from(and studied in) Singapore and now in Australia, life is going to move me around quite abit thus looking at online. Looking to do something more useful in AI and potentially research rather than keep pushing paper. 

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:
  • "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?) 
*Edit: Then transfer to Western Governor University(WGU) an online school with Computer Science Bachelors to finish.
TESU possibly, or maybe a school better known for CS to and finish there.

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. 

But essentially, *Edit:  Did not do too well in my polytechnic, 2.52GPA. Have got over 10 years work experience and am now a project director.
