Which College/Degree? A lot of credits.

[rachel83az]

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!

Since you've already completed Sociology & Ethics, I think you've done everything you can do at Sophia. The exception would be if you wanted to be ambitious and get a double-degree in Comp Sci and a BSBA CIS.

If you did that, you'd need Sophia's business courses. If you want to check out that eval, it's about 1/3rd of the way down the what if dropdown menu, listed under "Computer Information Systems, BS". You might want to get that degree added to your plan as well, even if you're only partly considering it. It's always possible to decide not to pursue that degree and drop it later.

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
Intro Programming
Data Structures
Computer Arch. 

Use the coupon code $130 for the first 3 months.

Is the coupon code "$130"?

Yeah, we've come full circle again, exactly what I thought would happen when deciding on the degree.  Anyways, my suggestion is to finish the BSBA CIS first as 9 credits of the CIS AOS will go into the BACS AOS anyways.  It's best to "finish" one degree requirements first just in case "life happens" and commitments take you off course.  

Is the coupon code "$130"?

Nope, there was a typo, regular is $199/month, it should be 30% off for 3 months, so it's $140/month for two courses.  The coupon codes can be found here, I suggest the link I just posted here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid371152

Got it, thanks!

And yeah, I'm going to knock out these study.com courses for the CIS one first - I agree with you.

Can anyone clarify this:

Your file has been updated to reflect active programs for the BA Liberal Studies/Nat Sci and BA Computer Science, as requested. Please note that you may only have 9 credits maximum applying to both areas of study and you must complete all degree requirements for both before applying for graduation.

Does the 9 credits maximum create an issue?

[rachel83az]

Unless you plan on actually graduating with BOTH the BALS and the Comp Sci degree, it's not an issue. With the BALS as a contingency plan, you can just drop that degree before applying for graduation.

For the Comp Sci and the BSBA CIS, it CAN be something to be concerned about, but there is no real reason to be concerned right now. The plans on the wiki only have 9 credits of overlap between the two AOS.

Only 9 credits can overlap the AOS.  So for the BSBA CIS and BA Computer Science, the overlap courses are exactly Database Management, Systems Analysis, and Management Info Systems.

I got it now.

I think I won't be doing the BSBA CIS, because that eval only came out to 65 credits. That's more work than I'm willing to tackle right now since the BA CS is that much closer.

Any specific AS I should add to the plan?

SO. The plan is BA Comp Sci with a fallback of BALS in case life happens.

Next steps are LevelUP's recommendation of:

"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"

Since you're going to go for the BACS, you could add the Associate in Science in Business Administration (ASBA) degree. I didn't look to see if you had completed all the AOS already, but they are very easy/cheap to get (and only LL required).

That would have your resume/CV showing...

BA in Computer Science
AS in Business Administration

Can anyone clarify which Operating Systems class I should take at SDC? I started the 305 but realized that maybe I can just take 105?
