[New][Help needed] Need some insight/help planning BACS/BSCS

[davewill]

Thanks for the input and I do agree it seems odd that they didn't require Calc I or higher. However, I don't mind taking the Calc I CLEP in the future if necessary. Which CS Classes are you referring to that I will be missing with the degree from Hodges?

The big ones are the math, especially Discrete Math or Linear Algebra. The most notable missing CS courses would be Data Structures and Computer Architecture. I'm also concerned about Database Management, and no specific Operating Systems course. They have Hardware and Operating Systems, but it and Intro to Database Management (and every other computer course) are listed as a CIT course which makes me think they are technology courses rather than the theory based ones a CS degree would require. Also for someone who wants to do embedded programming, C/C++, Computer Architecture and Assembly Language are essential.

Essentially this looks like an applied technology degree...which might work out fine for you. It just isn't computer science.
