Help needed for an IT/CS degree
#5
(10-14-2025, 09:33 AM)WDue Wrote: After browsing this forum, I became aware of TESU's BA CS program, which is what led me to make this post. I like the idea of a theoretical comp sci degree and even for IT roles, I've read that having a CS degree would be a big plus, it also helps with the technical aspect. However, I have no prior programming experience and absolutely despise math lol, which is why I never researched CS degrees in depth to begin with (looking at the math heavy CS programs made me anxious, lol)  

Is it worth trying to pursue the TESU BA CS? How difficult is the program for a person with no prior programming experience? I'm aware that if I choose the CS program then most of my certifications wouldn't be able to be transferred in. But if the timeline to completing a degree would be similar to the PG IT Excel Track program then I don't mind putting in the work to learning programming. I'm also unsure about the average time it takes for students to complete their programs at either institution. Bonus mention for UMPI's PM and IS degree, but from what I've read on here it's not a technical degree at all and I can always puruse an MBA in the future for the management/leadership coverage. My priority is speed and ease of getting a degree. If possilble, minimal proctoring. GPA is of medium importance.

Thank you in advance for the help and getting through my wall of text!  Big Grin


You don’t need any programming experience to complete the TESU Computer Science degree. You can transfer all of the required courses except the capstone, which takes about three months to finish.

For the PUG IT programs, once you’ve transferred in all your credits, you can complete the degree in as little as two terms.
