Hi, I have a quick question....can you test out of cyber security from COSC? I am finally going to get an evaluation and start on classes, and I figure it looks a little more useful to someone in a technical field than a bsba (just need a bachelors, being something technical is just a plus).
Also looked at BSBA CIS from Thomas Edison. I just need a bachelor's for some future positions, and if they are technical-related at all, it will be better for me. My math skills are sub-par so all the field requiring physics are out. I plan to start taking math on the side, so maybe that will change, but for now I will focus on the requirements for these two degrees. Thanks!

Learn a trade. Gain technical skills. Make money, then use this money to get a degree...if you have the desire.

You should review this thread from a member who just completed this degree: http://www.degreeforum.net/excelsior-tho...pdate.html
I don't know what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future.

So it's looking like I would have to take a couple of charter oak classes to finish this degree, can't test out fully.

Charter Oak requires Cornerstone and Capstone courses be taken there.

I can't find equivalent courses for the required ones, UL mostly.
CLEP and DSST are unfortunately out of the question, being hundreds of miles from testing centers.

I don't know about COSC, but you can definitely test out of TESU's BSBA in CIS, without any CLEP or DSST exams.

I am working on the COSC General Studies / Information Systems Studies major, mostly because I had a bunch of credits that transferred over.
The requirements are more general than the cyber security major so there may be more test out options, unfortunately I don't know what all of the options are.

What will your transcript and actual diploma say on it? Will it show your concentration, and will it be listed as a concentration or major? Good option.
