TESC BA LS with CS concentration - pluggingalong - 04-24-2025
If I was enrolled in the Liberal Studies with Computer Science concentration, what would the classes be like? I would be able to transfer in a lot of classes from various colleges, probably about 90+ credits.
I have difficulty with classes that use a single pass/fail exam, and am looking for classes that use a single "project", or break up the testing in to several smaller exams.
My main goal is to get a degree, and most of my credits are IT related. I have a lot of interests, and have credits in weird topics (like film production). I have traditionally pursued IT degrees, but hit some kind of wall. My current wall are the certification exams that WGU likes using. I use to think of "Liberal Studies" as a degree in nothing, but they do seem to be a good fit for me and my many interests. I'm almost retired, so I don't need a degree for job searching, I want one for me.
The most important thing for me, is how the classwork and tests are done. I'm not worried about the cost, though I would prefer to be able to finish in about a year.

Depends on what you have remaining to complete the degree, if you have all the general education and electives filled, you just need the major/concentration left to do. What I suggest actually is to see if the UMPI BLS with MIS minor would work for you. BTW, I responded to your other post about 20 minutes ago: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-Is-there-a-college-that-uses-projects-for-credit

I am looking in to switching to TESU BALS/CS. I sent them a bunch of transcripts, most should fit in to either Liberal Studies or Computer Science. My main interest in being able to do the classes in parts, rather than one big test. WIth any luck, I'll be one of those people who only has a few classes to do at TESU. I had briefly look at UMPI, but I think I was going to have to take more math classes or something else I didn't like.
