Want your guy's opinion. - Lightorb333 - 03-28-2021
Good evening, hope every one is doing well,
I am a student at a NJ community college and plan to transfer to TESU for a BA in Computer Science
I realized after I'm done with community college, I can get a ASNSM in Computer Science and ASNSM in Mathematics without taking any additional courses, expect 1 Sophia course for Math.
I may get the math associates, but would it make sense to have two associates in Computer Science?
Would I have to pay anything except the graduation fee?
Thank you

It does not make sense to have two CS associate degrees. But getting the math one is a good plan. If you graduate with both the math and the BACS at the same time, then you will pay NOTHING extra except for that one math course.

Lightorb333, yes you can add the two associates to your degree program list. Having said that, I think having ASBA would be better than having a duplicate Associates of Computer Science. I agree the ASNSM Math would go a little further, if you are looking at a better option, I suggest adding the ASBA as well.
Just in case in the future, you're looking at anything "business" related, you've got down the basics... especially since you're going to be using mainly Sophia.org courses, you've got more than half of the ASBA completed! You can finish it en-route to the BA Comp Sci. Mainly put your focus on the BACS...

Not sure if you're getting an AA at your CC, and then also not sure if you're talking about getting another AA/AS at TESU prior to completing your BACS? If so, you would have to pay for the cornerstone course at TESU, along with the remaining fees, so the total for in-state tuition & fees is $4734.
Instead, I would do as suggested, and add the math AA if you want, and the ASBA if you want (not sure I'd take the time and money to do this if it's not getting you towards your goals). Some people are all gung-ho to add extra degrees, I am not one of them.
