Alternatives to eliminated SDC courses for CS degree - rachel83az - 01-02-2022
I've been doing some searching and have managed to scrounge up a few potential alternatives for Discrete Math: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sample_TESU_BA_Computer_Science_Plan#Part_D._Discrete_Math
But we still need Computer Architecture and/or Operating Systems. With thousands of schools out there, I can't search all of them. Have you found any alternatives? Let us know! Even if there are prerequisites, it would still be cheaper to take (for instance) two $500 courses rather than one $1500 course @ TESU. Not everyone can (or wants to) cram all these courses into one 16-credit term!

Does Computer Architecture need to be upper-level? If not, it might be cheaper/easier to take Computer Architecture at a community college and find upper-level credits.
Management Information Systems (upper-level) is also available at Davar Academy.
CS 302: Software Engineering on Saylor Academy also has a recommendation for upper-level credit: https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/Pages/Course.aspx?org=Saylor+Academy&cid=d0654ad7-258b-eb11-a812-000d3a3ab0c1

It doesn't NEED to be UL, no. But I'm having problems finding it as a LL course, too. Also, if it's not UL, that means students will need to take an extra UL course with TESU. Granted, that might be easier than TESU's Computer Architecture class.

CS 204 at Oakton (Computer Architecture and Organization) has only one prerequisite (Computer Science I in C++, Java, or Python).
It does have a $50 lab fee, but otherwise, it's 3 credits, online, and asynchronous. It seems to be offered every term (Summer 2021, Fall 2021, and Spring 2022).

Do they allow an international students? I sent them email but i never got response ?

Based on the equivalencies from NJ Transfer, TESU has accepted "Fundamentals of Computer Architecture" as COS-230 (which makes sense as the lower-level equivalent to COS-330).
Important to note that "Computer Architecture and Assembly Language" has been accepted as COS-231 (which is Assembly Language).

Community college?

These don't seem to be common CC courses. At least, not at inexpensive CCs.

explain the steps how you figured that out
