Pursuing CS Degree at 33 - starting from 0

[bjcheung77]

There are ways to hack the degree better... My recommendation is this, you should do the BACS requirements first by transferring all the credits you can, don't take classes at TESU yet. Complete the requirements for the BSBA with a different AOS that doesn't have a corresponding certificate available, all AOS have a corresponding certificate (some are the same classes, some will have different requirements), my choice would be Entrepreneurship and International Business.

With more energy, money, time... You can get the balanced mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience, by getting associates, certs, on route to the bachelors. A total of 2 associates and 4 certs (maybe more if they allow extra certs). You can do two flat rate terms to complete all the requirements for both associates and bachelors. The kicker is, you'll be using one of the flat rate terms to do, graduate credits with the Bachelors to Masters, to get the grad credits for the price of undergrad.
