CIP Codes Warning

[AllThose299s]

Man, what is TESU doing lately? First the reclassification of BSBA degrees where they change their names and don't allow you to stack them, and now the CIP codes are wrong? This is getting out of hand. Just give the right codes and allow normal degree stacking. It is not that difficult. Making it so degrees may not work in government when such a large percentage of students are military just seems like one of the most short sighted decisions possible.

Someone said this is almost fraudulent. It isn't almost, it IS fraudulent. You cannot sell someone a math BA and it not be a math BA. What kind of nonsense is that? TESU needs to get this in order. They are gonna get sued by some of these military guys down the road.

CIP codes only impact my CIS degree but it's okay for me because I have the BACS but man, this is crazy.

Did they not get accreditation for those codes? That is the only thing that makes sense to me.

This has been somewhat on my mind for the last few weeks—with the recent reclassification of BSBA degrees & how for example the change of ASNSM is now an AS (I welcome this change just because the ASNSM is a bit of a tongue twister).

I'm technically on the 2022 catalog & within My Progress it states how my degree is AS in Natural Sciences & Math, major being mathematics & the department being natural sciences. If I preview how my credits would be applied to the 2024 catalog, for example the AS - it states how it is an associate in science, major mathematics, department natural sciences. Looking at My Progress preview for a BA in Mathematics, states the degree being Bachelor of Arts, major mathematics, department natural sciences. 

This thread covered how the CIS degree doesn't technically exist in programmatic terms & the CIP code is the same as the BSBA, which looking at My Progress for the BS in CIS shows the department being Business Administration. We know that Computer Science is correct CIP wise (11.0701) & looking at it within My Progress it states, "Bachelor of Arts degree, Major computer science, Department computer science." With the CIP code of a BA in Math being a multidisciplinary biological sciences degree (30.XX series), and how my progress stating it's by the Natural Sciences department—I know correlation does not imply causation but hear me out—it does make sense in a twisted way. 

I mean if I asked someone "would they be surprised if a certain degree offered by the Natural Sciences department was listed as a multidisciplinary biological sciences degree?" chances are they wouldn't. Obviously the fact that the BA in Math is listed as a multidisciplinary biological sciences degree is a disappointment and honestly if someone were to ask me that question had I earned the BA in math—I would probably punch them.

So, I noticed within My Progress how the "View a New Program" included 2 Bachelors Computer Sciences... One of them listed by the computer science department... and this is what has been on my mind recently... the other bachelor's in computer science I can access within MyProgress is my dual major of Computer Science & Art - with the department being listed as Natural Sciences. Now I'm wondering if I continue down this path and go for a dual major if it would result in the CIP code being issued as a multidisciplinary biological science degree instead of the Computer Science degree.
