My degree plan for TESU BA in CS; thoughts/recs?

[rachel83az]

For a TESU degree in Comp Sci, you're right that the ADMJ courses are not going to be used in the gen eds or AOS, which makes them seem useless. But they're not useless. TESU requires a minimum of 30 RA credits and they don't care where those credits are placed (except for the cornerstone and capstone, of course). The ADMJ courses can be put in electives and count toward your RA credit needs. TESU will always, ALWAYS favor RA credits over alternate credits. So your 9 credits of ADMJ courses will "bump off" 9 credits of Sophia and/or CLEP electives that you have listed.

You do not need so many TECEPs, nor those specific TECEPs/classes. For civilians, TECEPs do not count toward TESU residency. You have 21 credits of TECEPs, plus 9 credits of TESU classes. Unless you're really, really enthusiastic about those specific courses, you're going way overboard. Counting your CSM and CCSF credits, that makes 44 RA credits. You don't need that many nor to spend that much money filling out your degree. I think you followed the "plan" on the TESU website? It's really terrible and not at all reflective of actual requirements. Have you checked out the degree plan on the wiki yet? It's much better at clarifying things: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...ts_Roadmap

Instead of doing 3 classes at TESU and so many TECEPs, I would recommend doing a single flat-rate 16-credit term. That would actually be cheaper than taking 3 TESU classes and paying for the residency waiver. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Th...#Residency

On the other hand, if you get active military rate, then TECEPs would count toward residency and it could be worth taking so many TECEPs.
