Battle of the ASNSM's: Math vs. Computer Science

[eriehiker]

I was looking at my evaluations to check that everything is placed correctly.  I have already completed the ASNSM for math at TESU, but I didn't realize that I have also completed the requirements for the ASNSM in computer science.  I have completed the BSBA CIS and, apparently, those credits filled up the computer science ASNSM.

So my question:  Should I stick with the math ASNSM or should I switch to the computer science ASNSM?

Thanks in advance for the input.

Well, my fellow TESU'er. You can have two of everything, two certs, two associates, and an Bachelors with two areas of study!
From reading this, it doesn't limit your Associates, so why not have both the ASNSM Comp Sci and the ASNSM Math!
You wouldn't happen to be thinking of doing a second Bachelors too right? I guess since you're hot, why not! *lol*

Directly from TESU, their informative link: https://www.tesu.edu/academics/catalog/A...egrees.cfm
(They will not award a Third Associates or Bachelors) First Simultaneous Associate and Baccalaureate Degrees

Students who desire to have two Thomas Edison State University baccalaureate degrees awarded in the same graduation cycle may do so providing 24 credits are different in the second degree's core/area of study.

Students who desire to have two Thomas Edison State University associate degrees awarded in the same graduation cycle may do so providing 12 credits are different in the second degree's option.

Well, that is very cool. I will send a message to advising and see if I can do this. Thanks, bjcheung77, you are awesome!

Congratulations! Can you tell us where and what courses you took for each?
Which provider did you take your Comp sci and Math courses? Thank you.

I requested addition of the second ASNSM in computer science and they have added it to my evaluation as complete. Very cool. Here are my evaluations for both of the ASNSM's:

The CIS-107 and COS-213 are from Straighterline. They both work in the CIS AOS. MAR-441 is from Study.com and works for the CIS AOS. The CIS-301 and COS-101 are, I think, from Davar Academy. The first one works in the CIS AOS. The second one works as the computer class in the business core.

The Differential Equations class in the second eval. is from EdX. I think that I've taken Pre-Calc three different ways, so that one could have come from anywhere. The Geometry class is from study.com. I also took the Math for Liberal Arts DSST and the College Math CLEP. The math ASNSM is pretty wide open.

Oh, and my Calc I class is from an AP test. I did take and pass Calc. II at Straighterline.

Applied Liberal Arts Mathematics 
General Math II
Precalculus

I'm surprised they let you fulfill the math requirements with those courses 

https://www.tesu.edu/heavin/asnsm/Mathematics.cfm 

"Note: The following courses are examples of the types of mathematics courses that CANNOT be used in the Mathematics Option: College Algebra, Finite Math, Pre-Calculus, or Trigonometry. These courses are not advanced level mathematics courses."


I'm also surprised that 
Computer Concepts and Applications 
and 
Introduction to Computers

don't duplicate 

and I'm surprised 
Marketing Digital & Social Media
was accepted at all for an associates named "computer science" 

I expected your courses to look more like the ones in the "Certificate in Computer Science"

I was surprised about the math as well. I have actually been taking as many inexpensive math classes as I can take. I haven't counted recently, but I must be in the 40s or 50s in terms of credit hours. I thought about shifting another differential equations class, calculus II or something else in there, but I don't think that it matters.

I would at least make sure you transfer all of your math courses in to TESU so that if someone wants your transcript, they will see what you've really taken. I think I would also ask them to move the more advanced courses into those slots even though I don't think it will make much, if any, real difference.
