Competency based AS computer science - Broward College
#2
If you can completely test out of the entire thing, it's not too bad. It won't transfer very well to a bachelor's degree except at a flexible school like the big three.

The other thing is:

"No, the CGS1060 Computer Literacy Course does not offer the opportunity to test out, all of the other courses offers the student the opportunity to demonstrate mastery and competency by passing a series of exams."

CLEP test for information systems might fulfill that course, not positive. But otherwise you're looking at around $360ish I think per credit for that three credit course if you're out of state. For me it'd be around $110 / credit for that course.

Also the program has a strict course sequence and has pre-reqs apparently:

If you look at the pdf for example, you cannot take Introduction to computer science / c++ programming without having College Algebra. Most schools in Florida require minimum of College Algebra or College Math to participate in those courses. You'd have to CLEP out of them or test out via Broward.edu, you cannot use ALEKs.
