Planning BS/BA in IT field... leaning toward Information Systems conc. at COSC
#6
I am now taking a glance at the requirements for TESU BS in Applied Science and Technology in Information Technology.

They require 45 in the area of study not 36. 33 core credits below + 12 credits electives.

Foundations of Information Technology (3)
COS-330: Computer Architecture (3)
COS-213:C++ Programming (3)
COS-241: Data Structures (3)
COS-352:Operating Systems (3)
CIS-311: Database Management (3)
CIS-351:Software Engineering (3)
CIS-301:Management Information Systems (3)
MAN-435Tongueroject Management (3)
Network Technology (3)
Current Trends and Applications of AST (3)

And Excelsior's Bachelor's degrees in the areas I'm interested in:

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology [Without Concentration]:

Has a lot of specific requirements similar to TESU. Has a list of 10 topics. I don't like the concentration options but others might. I could just do "without concentration" if I did it.

I am interested in one of the IT degrees from TESU or Excelsior, but feel that the cost would go way up. For most of the core credits I would probably have to pay $83 and up. I am still not ruling this out though, because I may have financial aid. I personally like the Info Systems degree a lot, but am a little worried that employers will consider the Info Systems degree to be "less than" Info Technology especially if they see the transcript. I am going to research that aspect more. I would prefer to do Info Systems at COSC, but think that it might fall short of my goals.

Excelsior also has Bachelor of Science in Technology (Computer Technologies or 4 other areas of focus). I'm interested in this one too. Same problem as the IT degree though, with needing actual courses. Some may have start and end dates and be less flexible. However, I am pretty interested in this Computer Technologies one, depending on what I learn from the research about employers, career demand, etc. I want a specific type of job, so I have to look at this more.

I don't want management but for someone else to consider: they have 4 Bachelor of Professional Studies in Technology Management degrees.

They also have CyberSecurity.
