Shortest Path to Bachelors in CS?

[fmsoa]

Unfortunately I am sure I haven't had an Operating Systems class before, so I will have to take at least one course beyond the capstone.  I am worried about the Data Structures class too but there's a chance at least.

Haven't you taken CS 6200 and CS 6505? They can be used to satisfy requirements 3B) Data Structures, 3E) Operating Systems as well as the 24 new cr.

But I know many people take Graduate Algorithms in their last semester. And one weakness that TESU BA CS can improve on is adding an Analysis of Algorithms course requirement. Algorithms are so important as the gateway to start working on >2,000 leetcode problems for having a chance at SWE interviews

For all missing courses that are required, you don't need RA, you can complete them through alternative credits. I would follow the WIKI plan(s) for options and again, make sure to complete the BACS before you apply for your Masters graduation. (If you are almost complete with the Masters degree, you can have it transferred in as upper level for the major. I mentioned this in post #7, you may want to review post #8 as well...)

Nope, I am graduating with the HCI specialization which doesn't require CS 6200/6505.

GT replied to me and said that any credits awarded by another school is completely at the discretion of the other institution, so I am moving forward.  I applied to TESU today and I'm awaiting processing.  I was told it takes 3-6 business days, should I expect it to take that long or is it typically quicker?

That sounds like the time it takes to process the application. Evaluating your transcripts will take longer. How many are you sending?

Probably 7. Unless I can exclude some like the law school transcript which won’t have anything relevant to transfer.

They'll only do the first two as an applicant. To get them all done, you'll have to become enrolled. The cheapest way to do that is to register for a 1cr TECEP, APS 1000 ($52). You don't have to (or want to) take it. If you take it, it won't be available if you need it to extend enrollment in the future.

I'd send in the two most important transcripts to make sure they get done first, then get enrolled and send in the rest. You can get away without sending in the law school one for now, but they may require them all before graduation.

They normally process things as they come in - if you were lucky enough that all 7 transcripts came in on the same day, they'd probably do an eval including all of them; but since that's rarely the case, you can count on 1-5 transcripts not being included in your eval.  That means that you'll need to enroll to unlock the unlimited eval option - which means registering for a course or TECEP.
