Computer topics and AOS - rachel83az - 01-14-2023
TESU has a number of prefixes and topics that could apply to computer science, but I know that they only count some of them in the AOS. For the life of me, I can't remember exactly which. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but:
- CYB - Cybersecurity. I think this doesn't apply to BACS or BSBA CIS. Only applies to the BS Cybersecurity. May apply as an AOS elective for BACS, under the new rules about "related fields"?
- CIS - Applies to BSBA CIS. May apply to BACS.
- CLD - Cloud Computing. Do these only apply to the BS Cloud Computing, or do they work for CIS/BACS?
- CMP - Computer Science Technology. Only BACS.
- COS - Computer Science. Only BACS, except programming languages used for BSBA.
- ITS - Same as CYB.
- DSI - Data Science. Doesn't apply to BACS or CIS but might work as a "related field" AOS elective for BACS.
- MAT - Mathematics. May count as a related field AOS elective for BACS.
- STA - Statistics. May count as a related field AOS elective for BACS.
I should put these on the relevant wiki pages so that others can plan their degrees better/more easily.

With regard to CLD, in this post, https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-Filling-out-the-BACS-AOS?pid=377581#pid377581 CLD-420 is reported to work for the BACS AOS. Not sure if this is what you meant :-)

Very helpful, thanks!

My evaluation came back with the D316 - IT Foundations and D317 - IT Applications classes I did at WGU as being ITS-103 and ITS-299, respectively, and they filled the Group 2 of the Group G: AOS electives for the BACS perfectly fine. Also, the Statistics class I did at my Local CC came in as STA-211 and filled part of the Group H: Add'l AOS Elect perfectly fine. I just wanted to confirm your findings for the STA prefix and correct that ITS does indeed fill in the Group G electives, at least for the second group.

Figuring all this stuff out for all these schools without any sort of guide is muy dificil.
RE: Computer topics and AOS - JPN - 01-12-2025
Confirmed with TESU Advising that the following will count towards the upper-level BA CS AOS:
- COS
- CIS
- CLD
- CMP-3540: Network Technology (only) - the other CMP courses don't count.

Hmm, that broadens the options from Coursera, Sophia.org, Study.com, other ACE/NCCRS, and even NA classes that can potentially transfer into TESU BACS for CIS, COS and CLD equivalents. It'll be a good option to have a balanced or rounded set of CIS, COS, CLD classes and customize it to your liking...
