I am a software engineer by trade, so I know knocking out the associate degree in comp sci would be extremely easy, but I wasn't planning on taking any courses in comp sci specifically because I'm transitioning into a field away from computers. It still would be nice to get some "official credentials" in that domain given my current knowledge.
Thanks a ton for all of this info - I will definitely look into/research this stuff more. Seems like the associate in math and also comp sci might be a great fit for me along with the BA in history.
The General AA, AS business, ASNSM comp sci and math are the most common TESU associate's degrees people go for. That is because sometimes they are already done with the regular bachelor's requirements.
All of the other TESU associate's degrees are harder to do via alternative credit and/or require an associate capstone to be taken at TESU. A BA in History with ASNSM in math and computer sci sounds doable and might not cost you very much or even any extra time or money than just doing the History BA. I'm not 100% sure but I think the free TEEX courses count for 10 credits out of the 16 for computer science.
