TESU AAS Applied Computer Studies

[dfrecore]

Okay, so after updating myself all the new developments since I've last been around here and reading through lots of posts and information, I have a new plan of attack. I'm definitely going to go for the Pierpont BOG AAS with an Area of Emphasis in Information Systems and then progress from there.

I've written out a plan to achieve this, it's not the cheapest but far from the most expensive either. I'm unsure if several old ACE credits will apply but for now I've included them in, since when I did them, they were recommended for credit. If they aren't I'll have to figure out 3 different classes to take, no big deal overall.


Pierpont BOG AAS - 60 Credits Needed

• Communications - Sophia English Composition I - 3 Credits
  
  
• Social Sciences - CLEP American Government - 3 Credits (Completed)
  
  
• Computer Literacy - CLEP Information Systems - 3 Credits
  
  
• Math and/or Science - CSM Learn - 3 Credits
  
  
•                                Sophia Environmental Science - 3 Credits
  
  
• Electives - CLEP History of the United States I - 3 Credits (Completed)
  
  
•                CLEP History of the United States II - 3 Credits (Completed)
  
  
•                CLEP Western Civilization I - 3 Credits
  
  
•                CLEP Western Civilization II - 3 Credits
  
  
•                DSST A History of the Vietnam War - 3 Credits
  
  
•                DSST Introduction to Geography - 3 Credits
  
  
•               ASU UL Business Technology Fundamentals - 1 Credit
  
  
•               Clackamas CC Introduction to Library Research - 1 Credit
  
  
•               Google IT Support Professional Certificate - 12 Credits
  
  
•               Sophia Introduction to Web Development - 3 Credits
  
  
•               Sophia Introduction to Relational Databases - 3 Credits
  
  
•               TEEX Cybersecurity for Everyone - 2 Credits (Completed)
  
  
•               TEEX Cybersecurity for Business Professionals - 2 Credits (Completed)
  
  
•               TEEX Cybersecurity for IT Professionals - 2 Credits (Completed)
  
  
•               The Institutes Ethics & the CPCU Code of Conduct - 2 Credits (Completed)
  

I'm relatively sure everything will transfer over and not duplicate anything except for the TEEX credits and The Institutes credits. When I did them, they were all ACE certified for credits and when I used COSC's Credit Registry they all were listed as 2 credits apiece. If they don't transfer in, I will find 3 more Computer Science related courses to substitute in. I also have 3 credits from the National Fire Academy that I could include in too, if they're accepted.

Skip The Institutes, as there is no way to get those on a transcript.  Consider those lost forever.

All you need is 15cr in the Area of Emphasis, and Google IT + the 2 Sophia courses you listed will work.  But, an easy add is Sophia's Intro to IT, which is a short course.
