Hi there,
Long time lurker, first time poster here.
Context:
I'm an international student accepted by Charter Oak(COSC) but it is for Business Administration(General Business) with 43 credits left to complete(77 accepted). Not a whole heap of college Math subjects or CS background aside from CS50 MOOC. [Aced GCE O'level's Maths in Secondary(high?) school if any consolidation]
- Based on CED: I' have the equivalent of a high school diploma & 3 years of undergraduate study in business from a regionally accredited US college or university.
- Based on ECE: I've got equivalent of a high school diploma & Associate degree, major area of study: Business Administration.
Goal:
Pivot into computer science, particularly Georgia Tech's Masters of Science, Computer Science online degree.
My current pivot plan:
Option 1) Complete the Bachelors of Business in Charter Oak + taking supplement courses from 3rd party(*Saylor, Study.com, TECEP, Coopersmith, Straighliner) to buff up my Masters application and if possible fill out parts of my 43 credits.
Option 2) Enroll in Charter Oak, take:
Option 3) Looking for expertise here to help edit my plan to make it better/faster/less costly.
(ie. get re-evaluated in COSC for a general ed degree with concentration in informations systems for more flex?)
Question:
- With my goal in mind, which option would you recommend and would you tailor it, if so how?
- Is this the right forum to post the question, or is there a better sub?
Really appreciate this. If it helps my credits accepted are per below(split into a reply)
