TESU COMPUTER SCIENCE PLAN - mgmar22 - 03-19-2019
Hi guys, anyone could help me to make a detailed plan with the courses that i should take for a COMPUTER SCIENCE degree. I will use study.com and etc. I already started to TEEX's cybersecurity lessons. Thanks in advance.

Are you doing the B.A. in Computer Science?
Most of the computer science courses that you'll need are on Study.com. I'm planning on doing the same degree, but I already have some credits. Between Saylor, Davar Academy, a TECEP exam, and Study.com, I think I have things covered. A data structures course is rumored to be coming.
Acquiring enough upper level courses is the biggest obstacle, otherwise. We have a thread on that here:

I'll note that I'm not within reasonable distance of a DSST testing center.

They told me that you can transfer 90 credits. But i was going to transfer 114 credits and will take 6 credits courses from them. I'm confused now. I hope i can complete my degree in TESU. I really want it. I need to make a plan about all courses. Otherwise i can't afford TESU's courses which will be 30 credits.(03-19-2019, 05:06 AM)mgmar22 Wrote: Hi guys, anyone could help me to make a detailed plan with the courses that i should take for a COMPUTER SCIENCE degree.

The 90 credit limit is from a single provider, so once you've done 90 from Study.com, you need to get the rest of the 114cr to transfer from other providers like TEEX, Straighterline, OnlineDegree, Saylor, etc... So make sure that you identify the courses that you can only get from Study.com and the ones that are available elsewhere before you take a lot from Study.com.
In practice, it's actually pretty hard to get than 90cr from a single provider.

For the BA in Comp Sci if you're not a US citizen you'll need to take minimum 4 courses from TESU, possibly 5 cause you'll be 2 UL credits short thats not eay to get if you're outside the US.
Cater US ~10k

Couldn't i complete my degree around 8k? Hmm...

Should i go for the UoPeople then?
RE: TESU COMPUTER SCIENCE PLAN - armstrongsubero - 03-19-2019
10k for the degree. Factor in procotor costs, your SDC, SL etc membership fees, cornerstone, capstone, intro to programming, data structures plus an additional UL compsci course along with residency waiver, application and graduation fee. Its about that.

UoPeople's NA diploma does not look enough for me.
I really want that Compter Science Diploma.

I would say so, but everybody's finances are different. To my thinking 10K is still very cheap, and an NA degree may limit you depending on where you end up wanting to work. That said, a UoPeople degree will undoubtedly get you jobs.

Study.com has 3. Davar has one and TECEP has one. The problem is data structures (for now), cornerstone, and capstone. Everything else can be done elsewhere.

They are cheaper, but they are not regionally accredited, it is difficult to get in contact with someone there, and the peer grading system is a HUGE drag. I do like them, but I like credit by exam better.(03-19-2019, 12:28 PM)armstrongsubero Wrote: 10k for the degree.
