Taking 23 classes at Sophia in one month, is that possible?

If you have Java/Python experience already, there's no good reason why you can't finish a Java/Python class quickly. It'll probably be all review for you, so you wouldn't exactly be learning much anyway.

Calculus is... mmm... if you're not from the US, there's a good chance that you took it in HS. If so, you wouldn't exactly be learning anything new at Sophia. Plus, a lot of Comp Sci people never need to use Calculus again after leaving school. Discrete Math is almost certainly more useful for most. Or Linear Algebra. But Linear Algebra isn't required for a TESU degree.

Depending on what kind of monetary budget you have, the English Comp TECEPs could work out to be just as cheap (but easier than) the Sophia classes.

I'm hoping no one actually tries to do 23 courses in one month. Wasn't someone doing an absurd amount the beginning of the end for schools accepting Shmoop?

Shmoop was a strange ACE provider with course prep material that had its own flair, I really didn't like it but took their initial 3 History course offerings anyway. I don't think it was the speed that people could finish, it was the course material and way it was presented in addition to the proctoring that did them in...

There are some people who do over 10 courses in one week on Sophia. On the TESU transcript, nobody knows how long it took you to do each course, and it doesn't even mention Sophia. (Just says ACE transfer)

If you can do Sophia/Study.com fast, then grab the double degree CS/CIS.

Compared to on-campus credits, alt credits are much faster.
