Which College/Degree? A lot of credits.

Where can I find that study.com presentation skills will meet the TESU requirement? I was having a hard time finding anything on that one besides the TECEP.

Sorry - I should have been more clear.  Is there a place that I can confirm that the course will transfer to TESU to fulfill their comm requirement?

You can see the classes offered by TESU that fulfill the general education requirements: https://www.tesu.edu/academics/courses/j...-and-after

You can also see how classes from Study.com transfer into TESU: https://study.com/college/school/thomas-...rsity.html

Thanks! I actually had the page but somehow missed column number two. That's perfect.

Presentation Skills would probably be 4x faster than doing Public Speaking on Sophia. Take the placement test to clear out some of the quizzes before starting the course. You should be able to do the course in 1-2 days.

If you're really dedicated, you can probably complete it in just a few hours! It's a really short course and is a good intro to how SDC works in general.

Awesome. Study.com it is! I'll wrap up these sophia ones first and then head that way, hopefully this weekend.

I've just gone back and looked at the PDFs you've posted of your evaluations. I would strongly advise against getting the BALS Comp Sci or BALS General Management. For the BALS Comp Sci, you get to do the most difficult courses of the BA Comp Sci, but you get a degree that just doesn't look as good on a resume. The only benefit is being able to skip Calculus. But, with Calculus being offered at Sophia.org, that's not much of a benefit these days. And you already have the Calc requirement filled anyway.

The BALS General Management is similar. It's a degree that just won't look very good on a resume when compared to even just a generic Business degree from somewhere.

Consider what might happen if your plans fall through and you're not able to continue to a Master's degree for a few years, or possibly forever. Aside from what would be "easiest" to complete, what Bachelor's degree would you be happiest being the sole degree on your resume forever? With how fast/easy SDC & Sophia courses are to complete, it can definitely be worth taking a few extra classes to get a degree that better fits your resume rather than just whatever degree can be finished most quickly.

You're pretty close to the BALS NSM, so what I would suggest doing would be to put both that and the BA CS on your degree plan (you can email TESU to have both plans on your account). As you work toward the CS degree, you should naturally fill out the BALS NSM. If something happens where you really, really can't wait any longer for the Bachelor's degree, you can just graduate with the BALS degree. To be honest, though, going for a BACS vs. the BALS NSM shouldn't add more than a couple more months to your plans.

Check https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...centration for SDC courses you can take to fill the NSM requirement. Skip Computer Science 303 @ Study.com because it duplicates a course that you've already transferred in. Computer Science 302 & Business 303 are still good, though. Both of these work for the Computer Science degree. You can see other suggestions for the BACS here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...ience_Plan

For the BACS, you have 10(.67) out of the necessary 15 UL credits + capstone needed for the degree. If you do Computer Architecture (Computer Science 306 @ SDC) + Computer Science 302 and/or Business 303, that takes care of your UL credit requirement. That leaves only LL Comp Sci courses to complete. You're so close. Personally, I wouldn't settle for the BALS unless you really, really need a degree immediately.

I would recommend the BALS with Natural Sciences/Mathematics (it is only a one credit difference needed from the no concentration BALS)
& Add (for FREE, you'll have it completed with no extra work/course requirements) the ASNSM in Computer Science

Why? - because this combination adds relevant keywords to your resume (and keywords on a resume/CV matter).

Next stop...MBA or other master's (your choice)

I was just looking at the different evals and I kept thinking - man, I'm so close to that CS. Also, I've already completed Sophia Sociology & Sophia Ethics. I completed Sophia Project Management also, but I'm not sure I even need that (it only took me two hours since it's in my wheelhouse so I figured it couldn't hurt). 

If I go this route, do you see anything more that I can complete on Sophia before I move on to SDC? Looking at your links, it looks like I'm out of Sophia classes?

Thanks!

I would do the SDC courses in this order.

Presentation Skills (if you still need oral communications)
Comparative Politics (if you need civil engagement)
Operating Systems
Management Info Systems
Systems Analysis
Discrete Math
Data Structures
Computer Arch. 

There are coupon codes for SDC that will give you 30% off for the first 3 months.
