Scientific Knowledge Requirement

[Carnation]

Does TESU require at least one science course or can they both be Computing courses to fulfill the scientific knowledge area?

I'm pretty sure that they can both be computing courses. A reminder, though, that at TESU you cannot use a course in both the AOS and in the gen eds. So, if you're getting a comp sci degree, you'd need extra computing courses if you want to use them in the scientific knowledge area.

No, it's for a BSBA.
We will see if my son can pass the DSST Geology exam, otherwise we will aim for a computing exam plus a course off of Study.com.

Sophia's Human Biology and Environmental Science are super easy ways to meet TESU's science requirement. Way, way easier & faster than a SDC course. He probably knows most of both simply by virtue of being a human.

Thanks for the suggestion, but my son has detested Biological Sciences since he was young.
He was never into dinosaurs, dogs, bugs, or anything that falls under Biological Sciences.
Just the way he's wired, I guess.

He would do Chemistry but it's been a number of years since he's worked on math (or chemistry) so he needs to review to get to the place of being able to pass College Algebra.

Geology, while not recommended on free-clep-prep (through they cover an older exam), seems like the easiest for my son to complete currently.
It seems like a fairly easy exam except for the specifics of the minerals/crystals section.
And we are trying to see how many of the needed DSST exams he can pass while the college campus is on summer break and the campus less busy.

Study.com has a ton of science courses he can take that wouldn't require math: Astronomy, Geology, Earth Science, Meteorology, Geology, Physical Science. That's not to mention the CS courses he could take (BUS 109: Intro to Computing and BUS 104: Information Systems and Computer Applications are the easiest).
