I want to go to school for a BS/BA in Computer Science. I've read a lot on the forums about people choosing different options. I've applied and been accepted to Dakota State University's Computer Science program. The way I've got it laid out is that I'm going to complete up to 32 credits (the max possible I can transfer to DSU) and transfer in as a sophomore and complete their program. However, that still is going to run me upwards of $20K.
Does the TESC BA in Computer Science hold the same merit as somewhere like DSU?
I can't speak for DSU, but on Linkedin (on the TESC alumni page), there was a recent graduate of CS from TESC who couldn't find work. She was a career changer I believe (no previous IT), but apparently TESC wasn't received well at the career fairs she was attending. If you are young, and don't have any IT experience, I would probably go with a more recognizable program. Thats my two cents. Good luck with whichever choice you make.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
