My TESU degree plan - maplefu - 11-05-2017

Thanks davewill and bjchung77.
I haven't decided which program I should take yet, but probably BA CS or BSBA. BjChung77 and davewill suggested me to take General education and elective courses first. So I planed a general elective courses first. 

I selected all courses from section D: Understanding the physical and natural



D. Understanding the Physical and Natural World
Title                                                                   From
CIS-107: Computer Concepts and Applications      Study
CIS-301: Management Information Systems         Study
CIS-311: Database Management                         Study
CIS-320: System Analysis and Design I
CIS-351: Software Engineering                         Saylor
COS-101: Introduction to Computers                 Saylor
COS-116: C Programming                                 Study
COS-213: C++ Programming                             Saylor
COS-231: Assembly Language
COS-241: Data Structures                                 Saylor
COS-330: Computer Architecture                        Saylor
COS-352: Operating Systems                          Study
COS-451: Artificial Intelligence                         Saylor
CTR-212: Programmable Logic Controllers


Any suggestion? please advice.
It look like several courses are not credited by ACE.
Only those courses are credited by ACE.
CIS-351 Software Engineering


Does that mean I waste time and money if I take the other courses in Saylor?

Thanks dfrecore. So I have to select the other section A, B or C. What a pity.

RE: My TESU degree plan - Ideas - 11-06-2017

BSBA will be cheaper. All courses except capstone can be tested out of.

GenEds are the courses which are not in the computer/business area of study. They are courses like sociology, English Comp II, etc.

Thanks Ideas.
I just want to finish GenEds quickly, so I select all computer courses as I could get the credits in one month probably. But it looks like Saylor, SL or Study doesn’t have those ACE courses

RE: My TESU degree plan - davewill - 11-06-2017

Also, whichever degree you choose, you're going to want those courses in your AOS, not in GenEds. They will be useful in both the BACS and in the BSBA-CIS.

Thanks davewill. I know those computer courses could be core courses in the other program. I just want to finish it as quick as I can.
I will find out all these GenEds which are credited by ACE.

Are only courses credited by ACE or NCCRS that accepted by TESU?

RE: My TESU degree plan - Ideas - 11-06-2017

Go here to find out GenEd options. http://degreeforum.wikia.com/wiki/Sanantone%27s_General_Education_Options

Besides ACE and NCCRS, there are other exams like CLEP, DSST, UExcel, TECEPs, and CSU-Global CBE. There are also some online schools with self-paced classes.

Computer Sci is slow. Some of the computer courses will probably take you 12+ weeks. Also, some of them need a prerequisite, so it can take a long time if you don't have any yet. I mean like you have to take Intro Programming then Programming then Data Structures, instead of taking them at once.

Thanks Ideas. I read that post several days ago.
So TESU could accept credits from ACE, NCCRS, CLEP, TECEP, DSST, UExcel, AP, FSIE etc.

According to your experience, which degree program is the fastest?
Anyway, I need to finish all Ged first.
