Help with TESU BA CS plan, please
#1
I've spent some time trying to figure out a degree plan to go off of. TESU doesn't seem to offer that many relevant CS UL classes, which is frustrating. Did I do it right? Am I missing something? I think I'd like the data analysis degree, but if you still have to pay the residency waiver on that one then that sucks. 

Also, is this all there is as far as being able to test out of the math degree? TESU doesn't even offer all the courses listed under electives so it makes it hard to tell what might be upper or lower level elsewhere.  
  • Calculus I - ASU or Saylor - LL
  • Calculus II - Straighter Line - LL
  • Calculus III - RA school - UL
  • Linear Algebra - Coopersmith - UL
  • Statistics - ALEKS/Sophia - LL
  • College Geometry - Study.com - UL
  • Discrete math - Study.com - LL
  • Concepts in Math - Coopersmith - UL
  • Trigonometry - ALEKS - LL

There are only two Ul course from coopersmith. Those are the only alt credit UL math I can think of. I don't think study.com's geometry is UL I believe it transfers in as LL.

Good luck finding UL calc iii at an RA school besides TESU and even if you do TESU would probably be cheaper. If you want to do the math degree I feel like the easiest route is taking courses at TESU and avoid the wavier. The only exception would be if you happen to have UL math credit from before.

Comp science is actually not too hard to plan. All the aos besides one UL elective can be done through study.com. for the one UL you can do coopersmith or tecep (maybe but you need approval). Also straighterline as a LL comp science course and onlinedegree.com has one as well. Also saylor has LL comp science too. It think a couple cleps and dssts count as LL com sci too. But you dont have to use those you can just use study.com.

The problem with CS is that I would prefer to take actually relevant classes and not just any random one. I really have no desire to study network engineering, for instance, if it can be avoided. All of the actual programming stuff is LL. And I see now that I only have 5 potentially UL courses rather than the 6 that are needed.

You need 15 UL credits total.
Here are the ACE/NCCRS credits you can pick from.

Systems Analysis & Design 302 (study.com)
Database Management 303 (study.com)
Management Information Systems 303 (study.com)
Computer Architecture 306 (study.com)
Network Technology CMP-354 (TECEP)
Linear Algebra (CooperSmith NCCRS)

If TESU doesn't take a class as UL or not in the CS degree plan then it won't count.

If you have 5UL courses done then you are good the 6th comes from the capstone

Well, you need to be careful with those math classes. I don't know if they'll take Calculus III for upper level computer science electives. Linear Algebra, yes.

Ah, the capstone counts as UL credits? That's good.

I was hoping to double-major in comp. sci. and math. If it were only a class or two missing for math, I'd go that route. But I guess I'll have to go pure comp. sci.

Westcott Courses (transcripted on Brandman, RA credit)
Calc III $544
Linear Algebra $569
Abstract Algebra $973 (UL)

West Texas A&M Self-Paced ($699/course)
MATH3340: Calculus III
MATH 3342: Differential Equations

Study.com's Geometry course comes into TESU as LL.

Statistics.com has TONS of math courses for $549/course. There are also ones that will work in CompSci I think. They even have some grad-level courses.

awhile back (few months maybe ??)
someone posted that TESU wouldn't accept Westcott's Calc 3
I thought that was ridiculous and posted the syllabus of Westcott's Calc 3 and TESU's Calc 3 and showed that they were pretty similar and told the person they should appeal
they did and still the same result --- TESU wouldn't accept it

Thanks, I didn't even think about Statistics.com. Of course TESU accepts them. I'd have to do some budgeting, but between that and Texas A&M (assuming TESU accepts it), that looks possibly doable. Otherwise, I'll just do CS and an ASNSM in Math.
