Need Help with Degree Completion Strategy

Would love to hear some advice based on what I've completed so far.
Looking at it from a TESU BACS point of view, you've got two issues. One is that it's hard to guess how some of the computer courses you have will come across. Computer courses that are too "applied" end up not counted as computer science. You probably will only be able to find out by applying and sending them your transcripts. The second issue is that all of the computer courses are from community college, which means that they can only be used to fill lower level requirements, which means you will definitely have all of the UL CS courses left to do. On the plus side, you have your Calculus done.

The application fee at TESU is only $75. I'd go ahead and apply and send all your transcripts in. It'll take a month or so for them all to arrive and for TESU to evaluate them. While that's happening, you can start in on testing out of the missing GenEd. Others here will be better able to advise you on that. When you see how your courses have transferred, you'll have more data to use to make your degree decision.

Also take look at this thread: http://www.degreeforum.net/excelsior-tho...=portfolio

It will give you an idea of how the PLA process works which could be helpful to get your CS requirements. I also posted in their a rundown of how I made my portfolio.
