Taking courses at WGU not part of my degree program? And credit by examination

[ss20ts]

I was looking to get a math major for TESU by taking these courses.
Now, I am thinking that I could just take them with TESU instead, as I am a new jersey resident. I need to choose between starting at TESU with math or starting at WGU with computer science. I want to have more time to study the CS material before enrolling with WGU because if I do, I can go theough their competency based program faster.
I don't necessarily need these math courses or major for my CS path, but I would think that a math major would go well with CS in general and can be incorporated with it, especially when working in more advanced fields of CS. I may even consider mathematics graduate school.
I'm also considering getting a bachelors or a master in data analytics from WGU after my CS degree because of data analytic'a applicability and its relevance to the study of AI/machine learning.

So are you aiming to get a math degree or a computer science degree? In the first line you mention a TESU BA Math, but then you talk about CS. So is your goal to get a BA from TESU with a dual AoS in Math and CS, or is it one or the other?

If you want a dual AoS degree, then your only option is TESU. However, I'd suggest that you might be better off getting the CS degree from WGU first and once awarded, head to TESU for a second bachelor's degree in math. You only need 33 credits in the major for the BA Math degree, which is 11 courses. You'd complete 3 of those courses (Calculus I, Discrete Math I, and Discrete Math II) as part of your WGU BSCS, so you'd only have 24 credits (8 courses) left to complete the degree, which as luck would have it, is the same number of new credits you'd need to complete anyway. As an additional benefit, coming into TESU with an existing BS means you also avoid having to take the cornerstone course at TESU... you'd just need to complete the capstone to graduate. Alternatively, you could complete the CS degree from WGU, then enroll in their education program to get your math credits, and then drop out of WGU and head to TESU to start the BA Math, completing the balance of courses from ACE providers, other colleges, or from TESU directly.

I'm aiming to get two seperate degrees in both fields, a BS in computer science and a seperate BA in math.
I realized that it makes more sense for me to just get the CS degree from WGU.
When it comes to getting credits from the education program, I also have thought about if I could take the pre-assessment for those math courses to show my program advisor that I would be ready to take the assessment for those courses, and to come in with the program having studied the material for the math courses thoroughly before I enrolled. Do they require you to register for courses before you take the pre-assessment?
When it comes to the education courses, if I did study that material beforehand, I could also be able to complete them quickly if I took the pre-assessment.
When it comes to discrete math 1 and 2, is the material for them the same as the TESU discrete math course but separated into two courses, or is that course just equivalent to just discrete math 2? I have seen colleges just offering a discrete math course without being seperated into 1 and 2.

You cannot access WGU courses early. You must be in the course to take the pre-assessment. I'm watching people on a Facebook group count down until the 1st right now. Many are freaking out because they want to get started, but they can't.
