I see what you are saying, so it looks like I satisfied my Programming requirement, but it looks like there is a 2nd programming requirement.
Here's a snippet of what it looks like in my Academic Evaluation.
https://1drv.ms/i/s!AqhKFEdFM3Uvv3BsONqWdCyU7xCF?e=1YhIEO
I had already started System Analysis and Design at Study.com and was almost finished when they changed their requirements and added two more writing assignments. I am planning to go back and finish that to satisfy the requirement.
I was also planning on completing Software Engineering at TESU since I heard it was an easy course and also satisfies an Upper Level requirement. For my other UL courses, I was thinking of completing Management Information Systems @ TESU and Database Management @ Study.com.
The parts that are confusing to me here are that in the screenshot, it says I need to choose from the Department of Programming Language and that I need to complete a 4-credit UL course. I'm assuming instead of that, I can do a 3 credit lower level course since I only need 12 UL and I can satisfy that with the courses I mentioned. Anyone know if there is a transfer equivalent for Foundations of IT anywhere?

Again, complete only 15 residency credits at TESU. Review the following info:

That's my plan. Here are the 5 TESU courses I am planning for residency:
PHI-1300 - Intro to Crit Reasoning (almost done)
SOS-1100 - Critical Information Literacy
CIS-3010 - Management Information Systems (UL)
CIS-3510 - Software Engineering (UL)
BUS-4210 - Business Admin Capstone
Outside this, I have 7 other courses I need to finish up.
RE: BSBA CIS Area of Study @ TESU - Vin - 01-22-2024
Does anyone have any alternative suggestions for UL credit for BSBA CIS instead of taking MIS @ TESU?
My other AOS UL courses are accounted for with Software Engineering @TESU, Database Management @ Study.com, and System Analysis and Design @ Study.com
RE: BSBA CIS Area of Study @ TESU - Vin - 02-05-2024
I just completed my Operating Systems course @ SDC, so I have 15 AOS credits left to take.
I plan to take the recommended CS-3510 Software Engineering course @ TESU.
I will also take System Analysis & Design and Database Management @ study.com. These will all count as upper-level giving me 9/12 UL credits. The way I see I have 2 options for the remaining 6 credits.
Option 1:
Take MIS @ TESU (UL) and complete equivalent CMP-2020 Foundations of IT @ study.com for my remaining 6 AOS credits
Option 2:
Take MIS (DSST) and CMP-3540 Network Technology TECEP or as a formal course @ TESU.
The key to option 2 would be being able to pass the TECEP. Outside of AOS, Info Lit, and Capstone, I only have 2 other courses left to finish, Communications and Public Speaking. If I go with the TECEP option then one of those two courses would have to be done at TESU. I also wonder if I am just able to take an easy extra course just to get the 15 credit requirement completed.
Trying to finish BSBA CIS - Vin - 02-07-2024
I started in November of 2022 and have finished 17 of the 26 courses needed to complete my degree. I have nine more left to go. I recently finished PHI-1300 Intro to Critical Reasoning. Even though I passed with an "A" I did find myself struggling to get assignments done on time due to the stress of my job and heavy workload.
For the remainder of my courses, I will be using study.com and Sophia but I have some options with my area of study courses that I am hoping for some feedback on.
Option 1
Management Information Systems (UL) - TESU
Fundamentals of IT - Study.com
Option 2
Management Information Systems (LL) - DSST
Network Technology (UL) - TESU
Option 3
Management Information Systems DSST
Network Technology - TECEP
substitute Public Speaking - TESU instead of Sophia or complete some other easy TESU course.
I have about 20 years of IT operations experience so most of the technology courses are not too bad for me. The only time I struggle is when I find myself having to spend time working on assignments. This leads me to be hesitant to do MIS at TESU instead of the DSST. Has anyone had experience with taking this course at TESU that they'd like to share?
RE: BSBA CIS Area of Study @ TESU - bjcheung77 - 02-08-2024
Recap post #6, NO, transfer this in - CIS-3010 Management Information Systems (UL) - @ TESU - 3cr
CS-3510 Software Engineering (UL) - @ TESU - 3cr
NO, transfer this in - CMP-2020 Foundations of IT - @ TESU - 3cr
CS-3020 Systems Analysis & Design (UL) - @ Study.com - 3cr
CS-3030 Database Management (UL) - @Study.com - 3cr
Recap post #13, That's my plan. Here are the 5 TESU courses I am planning for residency:
PHI-1300 - Intro to Crit Reasoning (almost done)
SOS-1100 - Critical Information Literacy
CIS-3010 - Management Information Systems (UL) --- No, I mentioned that earlier.
CIS-3510 - Software Engineering (UL)
BUS-4210 - Business Admin Capstone
What you should do with your options is to take the classes from Sophia.org/Study.com that can transfer into TESU, maximize the 90 credits completely. Use the flat rate for classes that can't be transferred into TESU for residency purposes. If you have the energy, money, time, you can do a flat rate by doing the cornerstone, capstone, 3 e-pack or 3 easy courses, mix/match your options even if it may duplicate your current credits as you can use them to replace your ACE/NCCRS credits.
Finalize it to the following RA, residency, and transfer credits
SOS-1100 - Critical Information Literacy
Network Technology (UL) - EPack
CIS-3510 - Software Engineering (UL)
BUS-4210 - Business Admin Capstone
Management Information Systems (UL) - Study.com
Fundamentals of IT (LL) - Instead of Study.com, Sophia.org has this class
Public Speaking (LL) - Study.com Presentation Skills, it's the easiest class, so very simple!
RE: BSBA CIS Area of Study @ TESU - Vin - 02-08-2024
I am currently at 95 credits total.
It looks like you're saying to take Network Technology as an ePack unfortunately, it doesn't look like this is offered as an ePack. I still need to meet my 15 credit requirement at TESU and also require an AOS UL course. I would love to transfer in Management Information Systems but it looks like my only option is to take this at TESU. I made a mistake taking the CIS 107 TECEP instead I should've taken the ePack. When I was taking the TECEP I was just looking at it as an easy way to keep my application active and TECEPs were free at the time.
RE: BSBA CIS Area of Study @ TESU - LevelUP - 02-09-2024
DSST MIS is a LL course which comes into TESU as CIS-2010 Management Information Systems.

RE: BSBA CIS Area of Study @ TESU - Vin - 02-09-2024
That is the exact reason why I would need to take it @ TESU where it is listed as UL.
