The 3 free TEEX cyber security courses come in to TESU as:
Computer Security
Introduction to Cybersecurity
Intro to Security Basics
Not sure what COSC would take them as.
You could get intro to comp sci from an alt credit source pretty cheap
CSU global CBEs have a few that may help:
Basic Programming
ITS320EX (3 credits)
Information Technology Project Management
ITS400EX (3 credits)
Database Management
ITS410EX (3 credits)
Principles of Cyber Security
ITS415EX (3 credits)
Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing
ITS425EX (3 credits)
Digital Forensics and Investigations
ITS455EX (3 credits)
Information Security Legal and Ethical Issues
ITS460EX (3 credits)
Information Systems Design and Management
MIS300EX (3 credits)
Information Systems Analysis and Design
MIS350EX (3 credits)
Cloud Computing and Big Data
MIS440EX (3 credits)
https://csuglobal.edu/undergraduate/alternative-credit-options/competency-based-exam-cbe
From DSST there's:
Computing and Information Technology (formerly Introduction to Computing)
Ethics in Technology NEW!
Fundamentals of Cybersecurity (UL)
Management Information Systems
If you post everything that you've already completed that would help.
As always: verify with your academic adviser that a test/course will meet your degree requirements before taking it.
