About Me:
eeya:
I found the IC degree forum after a google search, 3 days ago, and dove into researching topics covered across the site. Also, I apologize for the bombardment of text below.
Currently, I'm at RCBC in NJ, and I'm a part of a transfer program coined "3+1" in which Rowan University is tied with. The program essentially allows for me to finish my degree at a more affordable cost and be completed primarily online, with the advantage of being able to take on-sight courses 15 minutes from home. The 3+1 program is brand new and they are phasing out another 2 year campus and bringing it, along with new courses, and massive expansion to my current campus, RCBC.
I'm looking to take the ALEKS courses to fill in the credits for (Pre-Calc) and some TECEP tests if deemed worthy. The only other math required for my major is discrete math.
According to Rowan Universities Registrar page, it seems, (they have it written directly in the headline) that they accept credits from TESU.
..."Rowan accepts assessments by external assessment agencies: such as CLEP, AP, American Council on Education's "National Guide to Educational Credit for Non-Collegiate Programs", etc. Credit assessments made by Thomas Edison College are accepted as transfer credits."....
Registrar @ Rowan University
What I want to Solve:
Graduating with a Bachelors Degree as quickly and efficiently as humanly possible.
Where I want to end up
With a job as a developer/programmer.
Current Degree Plan:
A.A.S. - Info. Assurance & Cybersecurity (or) A.A.S Managment Info. Systems
B.A. - Computing & Informatics
Current track:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing
Anyone with the link can comment in it.
Questions::confused:
First, am I wasting my time attempting this? Should I just CLEP American Literature and study for my schools College Level Math Accuplacer Test for placement, ideally landing into Pre-Calc?
Are there any possible routes, towards efficiently obtaining course credits, easier or ones ive missed, that pertain to my plan?
What questions do I ask my advisor, if any? My best thought is if I complete ALECS pre-calc, get ACE X script, I then should ask them where to transfer the credit? The University or RCBC?
Will TESU acknowledge Pre-Calc from ACE transcript?
Should I change my current degree to something more along the lines of general business at my school or stay on track for what I have planned?
Course Schedules:
Here I have included the course schedules given to me by my advisor. I can go either way, IAS allows me to take a few less courses, MIS has an additional 3 required.
IAS to Computing & Informatics: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2vvsr451xsh1co...S.pdf?dl=0
MIS to Computing & Informatics: https://www.dropbox.com/s/k1um212x04ldnce/MIS.pdf?dl=0
Final:
If you read through all of this, thank you. Your time and my chance at receiveing some advice is highly appreciated.cheersmate
