TESU Math & CS AOS Degree Plan

[Yenisei]

OK, it may indeed be too ambitious, and I may have some wishful thinking in them, but please have a go at what I've come up with. I've merely adapted the AOS from davewill's BA in Computer Science template, so pay no attention whatsoever to the Gen Eds. 


I assumed I could apply both Linear Algebra & Discrete Math to both programs and that a calculus course from Study.com, which transfers as 6 credits, would see the remaining 3 credits spill into the electives section of the AOS. 


The endgame is to get into a good data science master's program, although since I do a lot of IT translations, having a CS degree wouldn't hurt, either.

EDIT: I'm looking at the Study.com comprehensive tuition plan.

you may want to look at taking Discrete Math at a CC to save some on tuition.

there are non-TESU course options for Stats including a TECEP.

On the current catalog, Linear Algebra is no longer part of the CS AOS. I don't think it will fulfill one of the CS electives.

OK, I guess I'll have to substitute one of the Saylor Intro to Computer Science courses, then.

Interesting they removed Linear Algebra and Calculus II.

And they added Operating Systems and Computer Architecture as required AOS courses.

Yes, and LA was easy to find online and self-paced and UL.

I'm flabbergasted that they removed LA, but the courses that are now required are generally standard for a CS curriculum. 

The missus says I should choose between the math and CS majors instead of doing both, but even if I opt for math, I'd take Computer Architecture, Operating Systems, Data Structures, and Discrete Math. Purely from an intellectual standpoint, math & stats are more interesting to me than programming.

[ajs1976a]

enroll in both, but focus on one. Once you get through the first one, if you have the interest in the second continue, but if not drop it and graduate.

I really wanted to get it done by June 2019 to take advantage of the comprehensive tuition plan, and I think that might be too ambitious, although I already have some math & stats credits from previous study. 

The endgame is to get into a good data science program, but I have heard from some that an MS in CS would be better than an MS in DS.
