BS in CS help? - JeniMCha - 03-13-2019
Does anyone know how to do a spreadsheet to see what's classes are needed for a bachelors in computer science? From TESU? New to this, could really use the help. Thanks so much
I'm attaching my transcript.

TESU doesn't have a BS in CS, but it does have a BA (Bachelor of Arts) in CS.
Sorry, I can't really help with the spreadsheet, but I'm sure other people on this forum could.

Can you confirm the degree?
TESU has:
Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity
Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science
BSBA in Computer Information Systems
But they don't have a bachelor's of science in computer science. (In your subject line is says 'BS', so I just want to make sure). Other schools do have BS in Computer Science options and they are different.
I'm guessing that you're going for the BA in Computer Science. It's easy to find some upper-level classes at Study.com. Upper-level courses are a big concern for computer science options. Davar has an upper level MIS that can be used for a computer science elective. Saylor.org will help you to fulfill some of the lower level requirements. If you're close to a DSST testing center, there is an upper level test for one computer science class. TECEP has one exam (I think it's similar to the DSST course). Between those options, you'll be well on your way, but you'll hit a wall when you get to the data structures requirement. There is no known option, but rumors on this forum allege that one is coming soon.

You could do a community college course online for data structures, but it is costly.

Sorry, yes, Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science

You might be able to make a case for PLA using the Data Structures course from Saylor.org, but it's too risky, I think.
