Quickest Path to a Computer Science or Math Degree

[rachel83az]

For Computer Science and Math, your choices are mostly TESU, SNHU, and WGU. Honestly, though, even with maximum transfer, WGU would probably cost more than your current budget. SNHU definitely would cost more.

For TESU, Math for under $5k may not be possible (it could be close, though). Computer Science may be slightly over. You would need to set up a spreadsheet to compare what still needs to be completed for both degrees.

The most cost-effective way to do things is to finish up your degree with a flat-rate term of 15 credits. This costs $4299 and negates the need to pay the residency waiver fee. The residency waiver fee is owed by students who only take the capstone + cornerstone at TESU.

Capstone & cornerstone 6 credits @ $545/cr. + residency waiver fee of $3354 = $6624 or over $2k more than it costs to complete the 15 TESU credits!

For the BACS, the recommended 15 credits are usually:

• Cornerstone
  
• Capstone
  
• Software Engineering
  
• CIS-1070 ePack
  
• 1000/2000 level ePack or course of your choice.

Do you have an Associate's degree? If not, and one would help you while you finish up your TESU degree, you can get a Pierpont BOG AAS for $130 while you're finishing up the TESU requirements. If you already have an Associate or having an Associate wouldn't provide any benefit, I would skip Pierpont.
