Clarification on “free” add-on Associates degree

[davewill]

Are you saying that even though I took college algebra and pre calculus in high school (CS major required maths), I will have to take those again when I go into TESU?

There's no way to take college algebra and college pre-calc at a high school. Did you perhaps take these using dual enrollment at a community college? That's the only other way I can think of that would get you college credit as a HS student. In that case, you would send a college transcript, not a high school one.

As far as which, Associates degrees are recommended.

If you are doing BSBA (whatever concentration) & a BA Computer Science degree, then:
Associate in Math is highly recommended. All you need is the CLEP College Math to complete this degree.

If you are doing BSBA CIS, then:
Associates in Computer Science is highly recommended as you have almost all the courses needed with the BSBA CIS degree

If you are doing a BA in Computer Science, then:
The Associate in Math or an Associate in Business you could do. The logic behind doing the Associate in Business is that you need to take something in the electives for Computer Science so you could fill those up with business courses, including economics courses, so by the time you complete the Computer Science degree, you would have the Associates in Business without having to take any extra courses.

I wouldn't recommend doing the Associate in Liberal Arts as that degree doesn't help you much. I also wouldn't recommend doing any associate's degree that requires a capstone.

If you are doing a bachelor's in Computer Science, then an Associate's in Computer Science wouldn't help you much. However, your transcript will say "Associate in Natural Science and Math," and the following line will say "Area of Study Computer Science."

You get separate diplomas for the BA, BS, and Associates degrees. Therefore, these degrees are listed separately on your transcripts.

The courses listed on your transcript are all mixed in together, so nobody will know that you had to take zero extra courses to earn your associate's degree.

If you are doing BSBA (whatever concentration) & a BA Computer Science degree, then:

Associate in Math is highly recommended. All you need is the CLEP College Math to complete this degree.

Yes I am going to do ASNSM Math, though I see you've said that all I need is CLEP College Math (6 credits) to complete degree. According to the link, under section "ll. Mathematics (27 Credits)". I see that theres math electives, calculus and few more credits. Can you please show how you know that the CLEP College Math will be accounted for.

Yes. HS algebra and pre calc don't give credit. Thankfully, you can use your knowledge from HS to breeze through algebra and/or precalculus at Sophia.

Now I understand, thank you.

CLEP College Math comes in TESU as  MAT-102 General Math I & MAT-103 General Math II

If you don't do CLEP College Math, then you could do Sophia Intro to College Math and Sophia Precalculus (Not verified to transfer yet) or find some other combination of two courses that don't overlap what you got.
