Those both courses are not ACE approved. I doubt that you can get college credits for them.

My friend is taking it (CSC 105) right now. He says that it is easy ( though he is already good programmer himself), non proctored, require you to install Visio and submit some projects, not actually teaching you to program, more like to write pseudo code . They will send you a textbook for this course.

Thanks Lavagirl. I have about 10 years in IT as a DBA and Unix Admin so hopefully will get through it quickly. Just wanting to satisfy the Logic requirement for the COSC Information Systems. Now just need to find a System Analysis & Design course. I expect a Computer Architecture course might work?

You are welcome, rahill39! I think that with your experience in IT CSC105 will be a breeze. Your best bet for System Analysis and design will be self paced non proctored Adams state college course BUS425,( around $600). Chadron college also has this course,( around 600$), but it is not self paced. Use Chadron or Adams if you need upper credits. If lower credits are fine for your situation - then KCTCS community college Introduction to database design course will do. Best luck to you!
