Need opinion on Excelsior to TESC course.

Hello everybody,

I would like to have forum members opinion. I wonder if Excelsior college course IT 416 Data Structures and Algorithms will count for 3 upper credits for BA in Computer Science degree in TESC. It is expensive but it is unproctored test course and if it gives upper credits for Area of study in TESC BA in Computer Science then it seems makes sense to take it in Excelsior and apply to TESC degree, since TESC Data structures gives lower credits. Also I read that some member had to take Algorithms course before applying for Master degree ( forgot which university). Do you, guys ,think that this is a good idea or am I missing something ? Will be thankful for your insight.

A thing to be careful about is that TESC has no problem with downgrading credits just like it has no problem with upgrading credits. I would advise that you get it pre-approved by an advisor before you sign up for it.

Good news! TESC wrote, "Currently IT 416 has been assigned TESC course equivalency code COS-442".
