my CS degree study plan: need help

[LevelUP]

Do not complete Programming/Calculus/Discrete Math/etc. at TESU. Complete them as per the wiki.

Programming: Sophia or Study.com (Study.com recommended)
Calculus: Sophia
Discrete Math: Study.com
Operating Systems: Study.com
Computer Architecture: Study.com

I would not take the Network Technology TECEP. You don't need it, especially if CIS-3999 gets moved to your AOS. Network Technology is an extremely difficult exam with a very low pass rate. Instead, to fill out your UL credits, go with:

Computer Science 306: Computer Architecture at Study.com
Existing CIS-3999 if possible or Saylor's Software Engineering
Computer Science 302: Systems Analysis & Design at Study.com
Computer Science 303: Database Management at Study.com
Business 303: Management Information Systems at Study.com

Do not take any TESU classes except for LIB-4950 Liberal Arts Capstone. The classes are not especially easy and it's not really worth it.

Thanks!!! You guys are so amazing
(cuz I want to apply for a traditional CS master's program in Europe/USA later and My GPA is very low, just 2.8(from my 1st bachelor's degree))
I have one concern,  I thought RA credits and a better GPA would be more recognizable,  but is it worth getting RA credits(from other recommended provider) instead of using Study.com?
I am worried that some graduate schools didn't recognize these ACE credits. (I might apply for a cheaper or normal graduate school, like some state universities), So would this be a concern? Should I worry about this? 
I didn't find any related threads about this question, so could you give me some advice, Thanks!!!

If you have a low GPA, then the LAST thing you should be doing is taking the toughest courses possible at TESU.

Calculus is tough for most people, and taking that course by itself would be a challenge, let alone adding more courses on top of that. Easiest place to take calculus is at Sophia.

I would suggest cherry-picking the easiest courses to take at TESU during a flat-rate term to get the highest GPA possible:

LIB-4950 Liberal Arts Capstone (no exams for the course though has other exams that you don't need to study for)
CIS-3510 Software Engineering (no exams)
CIS-3110 Database Management (no exams)
CIS-3200 System Analysis and Design I (no exams)
Find one more course.

Keep in mind you can ask for a 8-week extension in a TESU course if you need to. 


So your 18cr AOS electives would be:
Software Engineering (UL) TESU
Database Management (UL) TESU
System Analysis and Design (UL) TESU
Management of Information Systems (UL) Study.com
Introduction to Information Technology Sophia
Introduction to Networking Sophia

Then also take:

Sophia
Introduction to Programming in Java
Calculus I

Study.com
Operating Systs
Discrete Math
Cmp Architecture (UL)

Instead of doing the flat-rate term, you could pay for the Capstone, then pay the residency fee. It's about the same cost either way.

Thankkkkkkks!!! 
I updated my study plan CS Study plan

1. In order to improve my GPA, cherry-picking the easiest courses to take at TESU during a flat-rate term to get the highest GPA possible

-- is it OK if I pick COS-4510 Artificial Intelligence+ COS-2050 Python Programming ? It seems that these 2 courses have mid-term exams,  I hope they will not be too difficult.

so all I pay is: one flat-rate term+1 capstone fee,

1) In 1st term, I have to finish: 
--at TESU
CIS-3510 Software Engineering
CIS-3110 Database Management
CIS-3200 System Analysis and Design I
COS-4510 Artificial Intelligence?
COS-2050 Python Programming ?

--at study.com or Sophia
Sophia

Introduction to Programming in Java
Calculus I

Study.com
Operating Systs
Discrete Math
Cmp Architecture (UL)

2)In 2nd term: 
finish Capstone, then graduate

Is my understanding correct?


2. For the 18cr AOS electives:
Software Engineering (UL) TESU
Database Management (UL) TESU
System Analysis and Design (UL) TESU
Management of Information Systems (UL) Study.com
Introduction to Information Technology Sophia
Introduction to Networking Sophia

Because 6 credits have been transfer into my AOS electives, and if CIS-3999 can be moved to my AOS, then I got 9 credits.
My question is, from the list you gave me, if I pick the first 3 courses from TESU,(so my AOS would be 18 credits) should I take the other 3 courses?





  Thanks!

Since Systems Analysis is only offered on even months, then you could only take:
LIB-495 Liberal Arts Capstone
CIS-3510 Software Engineering
CIS-3110 Database Management
Find another 2 courses to avoid paying a $3,354 residency waiver fee.

If you don't need extra courses, don't take them unless you have some free time left on your Sophia membership.

You can ask academic advising via email to confirm that Sophia Intro to Programming Java will work for the Intro to Programming requirement and have it "planned" for your degree.

The Sophia Equivency list for TESU is made from people that confirmed courses transferred into TESU.

COS-1110 Introduction to Programming is required to meet the Intro to Programming requirement for the BA CS degree. The advisor may have gotten confused or didn't know if that Sophia course would work.

It would take about 15 extra courses to do the BSBA CIS. If you can fly through 7+ Sophia courses in a month,  then 2-3 months would be added to the time to complete your degrees at TESU.
