It's Graduation Day! Any Graduates on Here? - WALLACEMC11 - 08-31-2021
I just wanted to give a quick thanks to this forum. I found this forum about a year ago and decided to apply to COSC in March. Today my AA Degree has been conferred!
*Sob Story* - I pretty much failed out of art school 10 years ago. Although I strived to do well in college, I suffer from severe depression and anxiety and couldn't always make myself go to class. After years of wasting my life working pointless jobs, I decided to go back to school. I was nervous to start the COSC Cornerstone because I usually don't meet deadlines very well, but I did pretty well and passed with a B. I've attached a redacted copy of my unofficial transcript for anyone who's curious about what COSC's looks like.
Congrats to all COSC graduates!

Congratulations! That's a huge accomplishment for you. Are you going to continue on to a Bachelor's degree now that you know you can do this?

Thanks! I'm definitely looking into getting a bachelor's now. I JUST realized I want to major in Computer Science. Not sure what schools I should be considering..

For comp sci, there is WGU, Purdue Global (IT), and TESU. Based on what you've said, I'm not sure you'd do well in the competency-based programs of WGU or Purdue Global. But that's for you to decide. It looks like you've definitely got enough RA credit for a TESU degree.

Thanks for the info! I was actually considering TESU. I applied and got an unofficial evaluation. I'm just not sure which classes I should/need to take.

The wiki can help you there. You should have all the gen ed requirements met, but here are some suggestions if they aren't: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sample_TESU_General_Education_Requirements_Roadmap

Another option is, just like Steve and his sons, continue on with COSC with an ISS concentration for the Bachelors. Ladder that up to a Masters and you're done, I would finish at least a Bachelors and then decide what your Masters would be in, you can continue with UMASS Global/WGU/Purdue UG, etc...
