looking for UL in computer science; any suggestions?

[siribetcher]

I found one exam with Microsoft via ACE.

Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3 (70-480) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/lear...am-70-480.aspx

ACE CREDIT | The National Guide to College Credit for Workforce Training

bad link

and just because something is UL in ACE doesn't mean the college will give it UL

statistics.com has many U courses that TESU transcripts as LL

also, you don't need to make the exact same post 3 times

There's no need to double post to get your question answered. Have you done a search or looked at the DF wikia?
CSU CBE's have some IT/MIS courses, it may fit into the degree program you're looking at.

BTW, where or which program are you wanting to transfer everything into? TESU? Excelsior? WGU?

sorry, for multiple postings; I'm new here.

recently applied to TESU [for Bachelor's in Computer Science] will finish at a community college by June 2017

got other distribution requirements covered; just need 5 3-credits UL.

Try: Microsoft Certification Exam List | Microsoft Learning

If that doesn't work, search around, type in certification exam list

As mentioned upthread, just because ACE recommends UL credit doesn't mean TESU will give you UL credit. In a few instances, ACE recommends LL and you get UL. I'm going to bet this one is highly likely to be LL.

What you really need to do is to match your exam with the same TESU UL course or equivalent in the PLA database.

The only verified UL CS is the MIS DSST and the CSU Global System Analysis and Design.

so, that's only 2 of 5.

the rest is in uncharted waters; you're saying?

Any comments about?
1. http://www.saylor.org CS402 Computer communications and networks [TESU open course, CMP 354 Network Technology, agreement with Saylor]

2. DSST Cybersecurity

that would make 4 of 5. might have to break down and actually take a course at TESU online.

Yeah, the rest is uncharted waters. Plan on taking 3 of 5 and the capstone unless we find something. There might be another possibility with the Cybersecurity DSST, but it's not verified to work. It could easily be an advisor error. I've sent that DSST to TESU, so we'll know in a few weeks.

You can ask them to put that DSST in your plan (they refused to do that for me), but you'll have an email that says it will count towards your UL electives in the CS AOS.

You can try PLA, but in my case I would have ended up with CAP and CMP courses, so I gave up on that.

[siribetcher]

when you find out about the DSST Cybersecurity in a few weeks, would you email me directly?

which option of the capstone did you do: Research paper, Creative project or the Applied project?

[TrailRunr]

The CMP354 is not going to work. I took it as insurance against the residency fee if I don't finish by the end of my EO plan. I knew it was going to free electives, and that is what happened.
The statistics.com programming courses won't work. They are going to fall in as LL despite what ACE says.
The CSU Global Cloud computing won't work. That comes in as CIS-499 and it won't count.
CAP and CMP courses don't count. CIS courses may or may not count. COS courses will probably count.

In general, you want to stay away from applied computer courses and choose theory courses. At TESU, programming courses are almost always LL.

Look at the edX BerkeleyX courses on Ruby via COSC. IMHO they are software engineering courses which uses Agile principles and Ruby as the programming language, but it may depend on how COSC transcribes this and what TESU thinks. Each course is only 2 credits. I'm going to take a look at those courses when it opens TOMORROW to see if it is too much work. Software engineering would make it UL. If they see it as Ruby programming, then it is LL.

Other than that MOOC, I basically have given up and am taking TESU courses. TESU courses are online. They aren't more expensive than the local state university. My work is paying for most of it.

That's where I ended up, a combination of PLA and TESU courses. You can also take courses at a local 4 year school, but verify how they will transfer before taking them.
