TESC BA Computer Science Planning Assistance - andytandy - 07-20-2014
Good morning everyone. I've read through a lot of posts about different credit alternatives, but i'm having difficulty deciding which fit best into my degree plan. I was hoping someone with experience could help guide me through alternative credits for as many of my classes below as possible. I currently have a total of 54 credits at TESC and would like to complete as much of the gen ed and free electives through transfer credits if possible.

This isn't my area but have you thought about TESC BSBA in CIS? You already seem to have a good business core done. I am not sure what some of the business classes are but you did write your accounting ones down. I would actually get an evaluation done by the school. They are good for six months.

Thank you for the quick response. This is actually the evaluation from TESC. I should have been more specific but the classes with a number of semester hours next to it have been completed and accepted by TESC. I was previously a business major but have CS job requirement.

In researching computer science credit I read in an older thread CMP may in fact not fit the area of study. The thread is from 2012 but iI would definitely check with TESC for approval. Now I see why they had it siting in a different area. Regarding CIS-107, I took that course and it is very mixed, applications, systems A&D, programming, security, etc; they may allow it in the AOS.
This is a question not necessarily for advising but more likely the evaluations team (the folks who actually review and evaluate the credits). You might want to open a ticket and send the request for course approval to the evaluations team.
TESC has more than enough CS courses to cover the AOS.
